PREORDER Kato N 10-1987 Ge 6/6-I Electric Locomotive WI Set, Rhaetian Railway "Rhaetian Crocodile" (5-Pack) | 319.50

The Ge6/6-I is a six-axle, rod-driven, boxcab electric locomotive introduced in 1921 along with the electrification of the Albula Line. Commonly known as the "Rhaetian Crocodile," two units are still operating today and remain in working condition. During its service in the 1980s, it was frequently seen hauling green EW I passenger coaches, baggage cars, and freight wagons loaded with logs.

A special set inspired by the era of the "Rhaetian Crocodile" Ge6/6-I—a historic electric locomotive that debuted over 100 years ago and remains a beloved icon of the Rhaetian Railway—is now available! The set includes a locomotive, baggage car, and passenger car, accurately recreating the classic formation. It can also be combined with the concurrently released (3103-1 Ge6/6-I "Rhaetian Crocodile")

The five-car set includes:
Rhaetian Crocodile Rd. #415
Baggage car
1st Class Coach

Ge6/6-I Rhaetian Crocodile
Differing from the standalone release, this set features locomotive No. 415 with unique numbering and markings, packaged together with a baggage car and passenger car.
Accurately reproduces the locomotive’s distinctive rod-driven running gear, the bonnet section that swivels along with the bogies, and the asymmetrical body with windows and louver placements that vary greatly between the left and right sides.
Couplers: Comes with pre-installed Glacier Express short couplers. Replaceable Arnold couplers are also included.

Details:
The yellow handrails on the side of the crew room door have been recreated as separate installable parts.
The headlights are lit (warm-white LEDs). The 3 lights on the lead section are lit, the light in the middle of the front window is not lit. The left and right headlights have a silver rim.
Accurately replicates the large, uniquely shaped pantograph.

Baggage Car
Reproduces the green-painted exterior design from earlier years, from before the pantograph was installed and when part of the window was still covered.
Equipped with Glacier Express short couplers. Replaceable Arnold couplers are also included.

Passenger Car
Reproduces the appearance of the EW I coaches used on mainline services, with longer bogies and painted in green as they were before refurbishment.
The first-class coach accurately recreates the configuration from before refurbishment, with toilets located at both ends on the left side.
The second-class coach also replicates the pre-refurbishment design, featuring a toilet at the right end of the car.
All cars are equipped with Glacier Express short couplers.
Compatible with LED interior lighting sets (clear) that are available to buy separately.
