Märklin 39596 Ce 6/8 II of the SBB

Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) class Be 6/8 II "Crocodile" electric locomotive. Design from the first production series with a fir green basic paint scheme. Features include two cab doors, wide switching steps on the hood sections, bow-shaped grab irons, sleeve-style buffers, and oncoming train lights. Locomotive road number 13254, representing its appearance between 1960 and 1965.

This locomotive is equipped with an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It has two controlled high-efficiency propulsion systems with flywheels, one motor for each power truck, and three axles with a jackshaft powered in each power truck. It includes traction tyres and an articulated frame to negotiate sharp curves. The triple headlights and one white marker light change with the direction of travel, functioning in conventional operation and being controllable digitally. When running "light," the lighting can switch to one red marker light. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting.

The locomotive features highly detailed metal construction with many separately applied details. The body consists of three parts with hoods that swing out separately, and the roof equipment is detailed with safety grills beneath the pantographs. Length over the buffers is 22.3 cm (8-3/4").
