Description
Trainset with an electric rack-and-pinion railway locomotive (similar to E 69) and two coaches of the "Seehorn Bahn".
Locomotive for realistic rack-and-pinion railway operation
Suitable for the FLEISCHMANN rack track 9119
Due to its enormous climbing ability on rack-and-pinion rails, the loco can cope with extreme differences in altitude (up to 25 %) even when space is limited
The locomotive is suitable for operation on FLEISCHMANN rack-and-pinion rails but also on standard rails
Red LED tail light on right side, can be switched off
With their unique combination of mountain landscape and bold routing featuring numerous bridges and tunnels, rack-and-pinion railways are particularly fascinating. The movement of the train is achieved through the engagement of a toothed wheel in a toothed rack positioned in the centre of the track, as the usual friction generated between wheels and rails is insufficient for the steep inclines. In rack-and-pinion railway of the so-called mixed system, where friction sections alternate with toothed rack sections, depending on the gradient ratios, the tractive force is exerted by one and the same machine. A particularly large number of private rack-and-pinion railways are found in the Alps, and these attract tourists from all over the world.
