Presentation of the locomotive under reference 734191:
With an hourly output of 7,850 kW and a top speed of 140 km/h, the Re 6/6, first put into service in 1972, is still one of the most powerful locomotives in Switzerland.In order to achieve higher cornering speeds, the Bo'Bo'Bo' wheel arrangement was favoured over the usual Co'Co'. The three more complex bogies - developed from the 4/4? - The three more complex bogies - developed from the 4/4? - also proved to be very advantageous in terms of wheel flange and track wear. The Re 6/6 can be found everywhere, whether in single traction, in multiple control between them and especially in freight traffic mainly as the Re 10/10 with a Re 4/4??? or Re 4/4???.
Presentation of the manufacturer Fleischmann:
The German model railway brand Fleischmann was founded in 1887 by Jean Fleischmann. But it was in 1949 that the company created its first model train, which was designed in O: 1/45th scale. The company was subsequently acquired by Modelleisenbahn GmbH in 2008.
In 2017, Fleischmann decided to specialise in the design of model railway products in N: 1/160th scale. From now on, the production of HO: 1/87th scale equipment is reserved for the Roco brand, which currently belongs to the same group.
Like the Roco brand, the brand is characterised by their attention to detail, and the robustness of their products, which are designed from metallic materials. The brand also offers railway accessories (spare parts, tyres, couplings, etc.) and digital modules (analogue controller, digital control unit, digital remote control, etc.).
