LGB Class Ge 6/6 I Electric Locomotive

The LGB Class Ge 6/6 I Electric Locomotive (26606) authentically models the legendary RhB “Crocodile” in its current paint scheme and lettering as of 2025, carrying Road Number 415. Built with heavy metal construction and packed with separately applied details, this G scale showpiece captures the rugged presence and intricate character of the Swiss original from the Rhätische Bahn.

Power and control are delivered by two powerful motors driving both trucks, backed by an mfx/DCC decoder offering a rich suite of light and sound functions. From prototypical operating sounds (which also work in analogue) to switchable headlights and cab lighting, the model brings operational realism to the forefront. A whistle is activated by reed switches, while pantographs can be raised and lowered in digital operation. In addition, the LGB couplers can be controlled remotely in digital mode for convenient shunting.
