Description: English below

Ab 1993 beschaffte die Rhätische Bahn neun moderne Hochleistungs-Lokomotiven vom Typ Ge 4/4 III für den schweren Personen- und Güterverkehr auf den Gebirgsstrecken im Kanton Graubünden. Die erste Lok, Nr. 641 "Maienfeld", war auch die erste Werbelok auf dem RhB-Streckennetz. Kurz nach ihrer Fertigstellung wurde die Lok mit Werbung für den berühmten "Heidiland-Bernina-Express" beschriftet. Auch beim LGB-Modell kann man die große Schweizer Fahne und die Edelweiß-Blüte kaum übersehen. Hinter der markanten Farbgebung stecken allerhand technische Raffinessen, z. B. werden die Stromabnehmer für die Oberleitung automatisch entsprechend der Fahrtrichtung gehoben und gesenkt. Weiterhin wechseln die Lampen fahrtrichtungsabhängig von dreimal weiß auf zweimal rot. Die Anzeigen im Führerhaus sind ebenfalls beleuchtet.


English

Since 1993, the Rhätische Bahn has purchased nine modern high performance Ge 4/4 III locomotives to pull heavy passenger and freight trains on its Alpine routes. The first of its type, the No. 641 "Maienfeld," also was the first RhB loco to wear advertising on its sides. Shortly after its introduction, 641 was repainted to promote the railway´s spectacular "Heidiland-Bernina-Express. You can´t miss the big Swiss flag and Edelweiss flower on this LGB model. However, the model has more features you might not notice, like motorized pantographs that automatically raise and lower according to the direction of travel. You´ll also find automatic red/white directional lights, lighted instrument panels and electronic voltage stabilization.
