For passenger service on narrow gauge lines with cograil sections Swiss State Railway SBB ordered 21 samples of four axle electric locos HGe 4/4 II. When operating on cograil tracks maximum speed is limited on 40 km/h, on adhesion lines are 100 km/h permitted. The locos pull for example the famous Glacier Express.

RhB Be4/4 511-514  LokSound 5 factory equipped sounds N XL L M4

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 ABe 4/4 II 41-49  LokSound V4.0 & LokPilot V4.0 for Factory Equipped Locomotives N XL L M4

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 Gmf 4/4 II 234 01-234 04  LokSound V4.0 & LokPilot V4.0 for Factory Equipped Locomotives N XL L M4

For use with heavy maintenance trains Swiss narrow gauge line RhB ordered 4 samples of diesel electric Gmf 4/4 II loco at German manufacturer Schalker Eisenhütte. Prime mover MTU 12V 4000 R43L delivers 1800 kW at 1800 rpm and enables the loco to reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h.

FO/MGB Deh 4/4 I/Deh 4/4 II  LokSound V4.0 & LokPilot V4.0 for Factory Equipped Locomotives N XL L M4

In 1972 Swiss narrow gauge Railway Furka-Oberalp-Bahn FO received five four axle electric locos with luggage compartment. The four motor locos developed 1032 kW and reached a maximum speed of 60 km/h in adhesion drive and 30 km/h using rack drive.

MOB BCFe 4/4 7-20  LokSound 5 factory equipped sounds N XL L M4

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…

RhB Geaf 2/2  LokSound 5 factory equipped sounds N XL L M4

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…
