Description
Toothed rack electric locomotive (similar to class E 69), Sonnblick-Bahn
Can be operated with and without rack-and-pinion track
Thanks to its tremendous climbing ability on rack-and-pinion tracks, the locomotive can overcome extraordinary height differences (up to 35%) even in the smallest of spaces
Switchable shunting light, individually switchable headlight or tail light and driver's cab lighting in digital mode
The very high transmission ratio also makes it ideal for shunting operations on normal tracks
FLEISCHMANN PROFI plug-in coupling for rack-and-pinion railway for replacement is included
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.
