You will find this model in DC version in the TRIX H0 assortment under article number 22773.Large-scale operation:It was, and still is, something special – the RH 6/6 of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). It has long been regarded as the strongest ellok in the world and still holds this award in Switzerland. Of course, this high output of 8,020 kW could only be accommodated on six axles, using the wheel-set sequence of Bo’Bo’ Bo’, which was rather unusual for Central European conditions, in order to combine the appropriate traction with good running characteristics in curves. The middle bogie had to have an appropriate side play and the three bogies had to be connected with each other via elastic transverse couplings. In 1969, SBB ordered four different prototypes from the SLM (mechanical part) and the BBC (electrical part) according to these guidelines. These four machines could be put into service by autumn 1972 and then extensively tested. After a final version began to emerge, SBB ordered 45 Re 6/6 series locomotives from SLM/BBC on February 23, 1973. Their delivery began in 1975, took place within two years and was completed by 1977. The second series of 40 Re 6/6 (No. 11650 - 11689) was delivered immediately after the end of 1977 until the end of 1980. From then on, the heavy EC, IC and express trains as well as the heaviest freight trains with up to 1,600 tons to Gotthard and Simplon were the domain of Re 6/6. This did not change until the turn of the millennium, when all Re 6/6 were assigned to the new SBB-Cargo freight division by 2003. But it is still impressive today, when a Re 6/6 fights the Gotthard's track with a long freight train. Even more impressive is the so-called "Re 10/10", the double traction with a Re 4/4II and a Re 6/6, which at least belongs to the standard on the Gotthard route. The performance of this combination is limited only by the maximum load on the towing hook of 1,400 tons at a gradient of 26 per thousand. Otherwise, the two locomotives could carry a few hundred tons more over the mountain. Many train drivers swear by the ten driven axles and the proper weight, and prefer the nominally equally powerful Bo'Bo' double traction of the latest design at any time.This text is machine translated.
