Electric locomotive Re 465 008 of the Swiss railway company BLS.
■ Elaborately printed model in the "Goldenpass" design
■ With separately applied windshield wipers
■ Finely detailed front grab rails
■ Switchable taillight with DIP switch
The Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon Railway (BLS) ordered a further developed universal locomotive based on the SBB Re 460 from the Swiss companies SLM Winterthur and ABB Zurich under the series designation 465. Unlike the Re 460, these locomotives have not just one inverter per bogie, but one inverter per axle. This allows for optimal transfer of tractive effort to the rail. The BLS uses the 18 locomotives primarily in freight service, but also for commuter trains.
