Prototype Overview: 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.
This 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 coaches, accurately recreating the classic formation. It can also be combined with the concurrently released 3103-1 or 3104-1 Ge6/6-I "Rhaetian Crocodile" locomotives.
