LGB 26600 - Class Ge 6/6 I Electric Locomotive
In 1921 – 100 years ago – the first RhB Crocodiles, the class Ge 6/6 I electric locomotives, were delivered by SLM in Winterthur. With a performance of 800 kilowatts / 1,072 horsepower and a maximum speed of 55 km/h / 34 mph, these 66 metric ton locomotives fully satisfied the requirements of the times so that 15 units all total were built. Starting in the Eighties, they were replaced by newer locomotives so that currently only 2 units – however very well maintained units – are used pulling special trains. They are also used in regular operation pulling historic cars.
This locomotive is in a special version in the anniversary year 2021 in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the Crocodile in use on the RhB. Of course, this is also reproduced in the model - get ready to be surprised.
