"Crocodile" Electric Locomotive

A Gotthard Classic
The Märklin classic par excellence: The SBB class Ce 6/8 II freight locomotive – better known as the "Crocodile". This highly detailed metal model follows the first production series with the sanding equipment in the new tooling. Historically unique – not just on the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) and the Gotthard.

Prototype: Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) class Ce 6/8 II "Crocodile" freight locomotive. Design from the first production series. Dark brown basic paint scheme, with older design buffers, crossover plates at the ends, small switching steps and grab irons, with sanding equipment, without an oncoming train light and without an inductive magnet. The locomotive looks as it did around 1930.
