Description

The Ge6/6-I, commonly known as the "Rhaetian Crocodile," is a rod-driven, six-axle, boxcab electric locomotive that appeared in 1921 with the electrification of the Albula Line. It was used for a long time to pull various freight and passenger trains, and even now, more than 100 years later, two of them are still preserved in working order. Not only are they used for special event trains, but in the summer they are also included in regular timetables, sometimes coupled with other historical passenger cars and open panoramic passenger cars, continuing to operate as if they were still in active service.

The Ge6/6-I, also known as the "Rhaetian Crocodile," a historical electric locomotive that appeared more than 100 years ago and remains highly popular on the Rhaetian Railway, is finally available in N gauge.
