wirey33 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 You should have saved your money (and a lot more) and had a ride on the real thing in Switzerland.... https://www.sbbhistoric.ch/veranstaltungen-fahrten/kalender/sbb-historic-events/2017-06-17-exklusive-fuehrerstandsfahrt-im-krokodil-ce-6-8-ll.html Or the translated version... https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sbbhistoric.ch%2Fveranstaltungen-fahrten%2Fkalender%2Fsbb-historic-events%2F2017-06-17-exklusive-fuehrerstandsfahrt-im-krokodil-ce-6-8-ll.html&edit-text=&act=url This trip is booked up but they do them quite regularly.

RMweb Gold ikks Posted March 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) I saw a few of these on a visit to Switzerland in the sixties..........they are fascinating things. I always wanted a model but it unfortunately does not fit into my ex-LMS late 50's model of which the expenditure is closely monitored by SWMBO!!

muir Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Love the Crocodiles, and you have really captured the scene well in your video. The Swiss Crocodiles certainly have a wonderful aire of sophistication and flash gordon period moderne about them, the DRG Krokodils tend look powerful, The Austrian ones looked like antiques even when new (maybe the rivets?) though slightly newer than the Swiss ones, and of course at the same time as the Swiss Crocodiles were made GE shipped these Crocodiles to the Milwaukee (with a 1-B-D-D-B-1 wheel arrangement...) Which I still don't think the Lionel version was that bad considering the period.... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Williams Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 On 25/05/2015 at 11:51, PaulRhB said: That's a Swiss SBB Ce6/8 and available from Trix or Roco in HO. There is a brown version too. I used to have one each of the Roco ones and they were superb models in detail and running plus cheaper than the Trix / Marklin ones. N gauge ones are around too. Arcadia, Winco, Gaugemaster amongst others and of course eBay. You wouldn't by any chance know how to remove the centre section of the body? The instructions just give a couple of arrows, which seem to imply that you stick something in the side and lever out, but I'm not sure if that is correct and, in any case, doesn't seem to work. It's necessary to remove the centre section to fit a decoder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
