MOB BCFe 4/4 7-20 
H0
Starting in 1904, the Montreux-Berner Oberland-Bahn (MOB) purchased fourteen four-axle electric railcars from SIG, which were intended for use on the two newly opened routes Montbovon - Château-d'Oex - Gstaad and Gstaad - Zweisimmen. The meter-gauge railcars developed 192 kW and reached a top speed of 45 km/h, which was later increased to 50 km/h. In the course of their long service life, often only some of the vehicles were subjected to various conversions. For example, four vehicles received more…
MOB GDe 4/4 H0
The meter-gauge Montreux-Oberland Bernois MOB purchased four copies of the four-engine GDe 4/4 electric locomotive, two further went to the Chemins de fer fribourgois Gruyère-Fribourg-Morat GFM. The latter sold their two locomotives to the MOB in 2007. The 1053 kW strong and 100 km / h fast four-axle vehicles for the 900 V direct current system have been given a luggage compartment in the middle to save separate luggage car in the Panoramic Express. Between 1983 and 2010, locomotive 6003 held more…
MOB Ge4/4 III
Swiss Montreux-Berner Oberlandbahn MOB ordered four samples of electric Ge 4/4 III for their narrow gauge lines. The locos develop 2000 kW. The maximum speed of 120 km/h is not used during operation.
RhB ABe 4/16 Capricorn
To increase frequency on the meter-gauge main network, the Rhaetian Railway RhB ordered 56 units of the four-car ABe 4/16 multiple unit from Stadler. The four electric traction motors installed in one of the end cars produce a total of 1400 kW and accelerate the trains to a design speed of 120 km/h. Up to four units can be coupled in regular operation. The main routes are Davos – Filisur and Chur – Ilanz – Disentis, which are traveled at a maximum speed of 100 hm/h. At 163 km/h, a Capricorn more…
RhB ABe 4/4 II 41-49
Since nearly 50 years Swiss narrow gauged Rhaetian Railway (RhB) uses their four axle electric railcars ABe 4/4 II. Four traction motors deliver 940 HP and enables the railcars to reach a maximum speed of 65 km/h. Four of the nine cars are still in use, two of them can be seen daily with nearly any kind of train.
RhB ABe 4/4 III H0
Swiss Rhetian Railway (RhB) received six samples of four axle electric railcar ABe 4/4 III. The railcars develop 1016 kW and reach a maximum speed of 65 km/h. For traction of longer trains the Abe 4/4 III can operate with older ABe 4/4 II or dual mode locos Gem 4/4.
RhB ABe 8/12
In 2010, a new era started with the year´s summer timetable among RhB´s rolling stock: the first 15 copies of the three-part “Allegra” dual-voltage railcars, ordered from Stadler, replaced some of the locomotives which had seen better days.
The powerful and air-conditioned ABe 4/8 3501-3515 can be either used on the main line´s AC system or the DC-powered “Bernina” line.
With further procurements, the operational concept of locomotive-drawn trains has changed with the exception of the Albula more…
RhB Be4/4 511-514 H0
Starting in 1971, the Rhaetian Railway RhB procured four three-car Be 4/4 electric multiple units, primarily for suburban traffic in Chur. At the time, the four-motor push-pull trans trains were the first traction vehicles in Switzerland to have thyristor control. The 784 kW strong reached a top speed of 90 km/h. In addition to an electro-pneumatic air brake, the three-part vehicles also decelerated with the electric regenerative brake. In 1979, the RhB ordered two more, largely identical more…
RhB Ge 6/6 II 701-707 H0
In the late 1950s the narrow gauge Rhetian Railway (RhB) of Switzerland recommended stronger locos for haevy freight and passenger service. After a pre-series of two six axle locos (#701 and #702) the RhB ordered a series of five more locos (#703 - #707) that show differences in front design. Technical equipment of the locos is the same. The end trucks are interchangeable with those of four axle Ge 4/4 I. The locos develop 2398 HP and reach a maximum speed of 80 km/h. Even after around 50 years more…
RhB Geaf 2/2
Although the entire meter-gauge route network of the Rhaetian Railway RhB is electrified, the railway requires traction vehicles with a non-catenary power supply for construction site operations, for example. For such purposes, the RhB has been procuring a total of seven units of the bimodal Geaf 2/2 shunting locomotive since 2018. The lithium-ion battery has an output of 200 kW and is charged by a pantograph under the catenary and when braking through recuperation. An output of 500 kW is more…
