Cars & Hobbies & Household > Model Railway > G Scale
The HGE 4/4 II is a narrow-gauge electric locomotive for gear and adhesion operation. A first series of 5 locomotives was purchased from 1985 by the Furka Oberalp train and the SBB for the narrow-gauge Bruenig railway. With an output of 1,932 kW - that corresponds to around 2,600 HP and a maximum speed of 100 km / or 40 km / h on gear wheels sets new standards. Since the locomotives proved to be very good, more were procured from 1990 onwards, so that ultimately the SBB and the FO each had 8 and the Brig-Visp-Zermatt trains contained 5 pieces. These locomotives are still in use today, the Matterhorn Gotthard railway that of the former FO and BVZ, and the former SBB BRUeGE Railway for the central railway. The coating of the Glacier Express trains at the MGB between Zermatt and Disentis is outstanding, as well as the auto-shuttle trains at the Furktoday tunnel between Oberwald and Realp. In the last few years the MGB has started to thoroughly renew the locomotives. In addition to new electronics, the headlights in LED technology as well as the new paint finish can also be seen from the outside. Thus these locomotives will also be used for many years in the Swiss mountains.
