Roco 7500002 H0 Electric locomotive Re 4/4 II 11108 Swiss Express of the SBB

Electric locomotive Re 4/4 II 11108 "Swiss Express" of the Swiss Federal Railways. On May 22, 1975, the train category "Swiss Express" was introduced by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) alongside the commissioning of the Heitersberg line and existed until 1982. This category replaced the earlier city express trains. At that time, they were considered the flagship trains of the SBB and served the main transport axis between Geneva and St. Gallen. The trains were then pulled by eight specially prepared Re 4/4 II locomotives. Unfortunately, today only the 11108 and 11109 remain as a reminder of the original color scheme. With the Re 4/4 II 11108, we present one of the more popular locomotives. The "Cremeschnitte," as it is affectionately called, was still in regular service until 2021 and is now parked in Olten, waiting for its next use.
