Description:

English below

Vorbild
Die Engadin-Strecke der RhÃ¤tischen Bahn (RhB) von St. Moritz nach Scuol ist eine der vielen Schmalspurstrecken im schweizerischen Kanton GraubÃ¼nden. Sie wurde von Anfang an elektrisch betrieben. Im Jahre 1913 kaufte die RhB sieben kleine Streckenlokomotiven, die als Ge 2/4 201-207 bezeichnet wurden.
Die Kraft des langsam laufenden Motors wurde ohne Getriebe Ã¼ber SchrÃ¤gstangen direkt auf eine Blindwelle und von dort durch Kuppelstangen auf die groÃŸen TreibrÃ¤der Ã¼bertragen. Die Lokomotiven wurden im Personen- und GÃ¼terverkehr eingesetzt. Mehrere dieser Loks wurden zu Rangierlokomotiven mit MittelfÃ¼hrerstÃ¤nden umgebaut, doch blieben einige im Originalzustand erhalten. Bis in die 1970er Jahre wurden diese Lokomotiven vor leichten GÃ¼terzÃ¼gen auf der Engadin-Strecke eingesetzt.

Diese Lok wurde von 1986 bis 1991 in mindestens sechs verschiedenen Versionen hergestellt. Dies ist die vierte Version ohne den Initialen ER (Eberhard Richter) an den FÃ¼hrerhaustÃ¼ren, mit gleichmÃ¤ssig gefÃ¤rbtem hellgrauem Dach und mit grÃ¼nen Isolatoren anstatt roten..

English

Prototype
The Engadin section of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) from St. Moritz to Scuol is one of the many narrow-gauge lines in the Swiss canton of GraubÃ¼nden. This line was operated electrically from the very beginning. In 1913 the RhB purchased seven small locomotives which were designated as Ge 2/4 201-207.
The slow-running motor was coupled directly without any gearbox via inclined rods to a jackshaft and coupling rods from there through to the large driving wheels. These locomotives were used in passenger and freight service. Several of these locomotives were converted to shunting locos with center cabs, but some were preserved in their original condition. Until the 1970s these locomotives were used in light freight service on the Engadin line.

This locomotive was manufactured by LGB from 1986 to 1991 in at least six different versions. This is the fourth version without the initials ER (Eberhard Richter) on the cab doors, a uniform light grey roof and green insulator instead of red ones.
