A Gotthard Classic
The Märklin classic par excellence: The SBB class Ce 6/8 II freight locomotive – better known as the "Crocodile". This highly detailed metal model follows the first production series with the sanding equipment in the new tooling. Historically unique – not just on the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) and the Gotthard.
Prototype: Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) class Ce 6/8 II "Crocodile" freight locomotive. Design from the first production series. Dark brown basic paint scheme, with older design buffers, crossover plates at the ends, small switching steps and grab irons, with sanding equipment, without an oncoming train light and without an inductive magnet. The locomotive looks as it did around 1930.

Model: The locomotive has the new mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. 2 controlled high-efficiency propulsion systems with flywheels, 1 motor for each powered truck. 3 axles and jackshaft powered in each powered truck. Traction tires. The locomotive frame is articulated to enable the locomotive to negotiate sharp curves. The triple headlights and 1 white marker light (Swiss headlight / marker light code) change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. When the locomotive is running "light" the lighting can be changed to 1 red marker light. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. The locomotive has highly detailed metal construction with many separately applied details. The sanding equipment is located between the two groups of driving wheels. The locomotive body comes in 3 parts with hoods that swing out separately. The roof equipment is detailed with safety grills beneath the pantographs.
Length over the buffers 22.3 cm / 8-3/4".
