Description

Fleischmann 7570045 — E-Lok Re 4/4II SBB rot DC-Snd.

The SBB Re 4/4 II, later designated as the Re 420, represents the most successful and numerous universal locomotive class of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). Designed for high-performance service on the Swiss Mittelland and the challenging curves of the Jura line, these Bo’Bo’ locomotives have served as the backbone of Swiss rail traffic since their introduction in the mid-1960s. This model replicates the Re 4/4 II in its iconic traffic red livery, a visual hallmark of the Swiss rail network throughout Epoch VI, where it remains a versatile workhorse for both intercity passenger services and light freight duties across the electrified transalpine corridors.

This Fleischmann N scale (1:160) model is engineered with a die-cast metal chassis and a high-performance motor equipped with a flywheel for superior traction and smooth slow-speed operation. The locomotive features a factory-installed DCC sound decoder, delivering authentic Swiss prototype acoustic functions and digital control. Prototypical lighting is achieved via maintenance-free LEDs, following the Swiss light changeover pattern (three white front, one white rear). Detailed construction includes finely rendered roof equipment, prototypical pantographs, and NEM 355 coupler pockets with a short-coupling kinematics mechanism for realistic train formations.
