Description
●The Ge6/6-I 'Krok' is a rod-driven, six-axle convex electric locomotive that appeared in 1921 with the electrification of the Albula Line. It is affectionately known as the "Rhaetian Crocodile," and two of them are still in active use as preserved locomotives. In the 1980s, when it was in active use, it pulled green EW I passenger cars, baggage cars, and freight cars loaded with logs.
◆A set that combines the locomotive, baggage car, and passenger car of the Ge6/6-I, also known as the "Rhaetian Crocodile," a historic electric locomotive that appeared more than 100 years ago and is still very popular on the Rhaetian Railway, is now available. You can enjoy it together with the 3103-1 Alpine Convex Locomotive Ge6/6-I <Rhaetian Crocodile>, which will be released at the same time.

This is an exquisite set which is beautifully presented in a bookshelf style casing. The finish and running characteristics of the models are to the usual Kato high standards, and they are the perfect addition to their Rhätische Bahn (RhB) Series. I have been looking forward to this release, and it does not disappoint. I used the Train Trax Pre-Order facility for this purchase, and as always received first rate service from Ian and the team.
