LGB L26662 G railcar FZE 6/6 EP. II of the MOB

Tramcar FZE 6/6 Epoch II
Luggage wagon FZE 6/6 of MOB in Metal construction. In the 1930s, suitable locomotives were sought for the MOB's steep routes for the "Golden Mountain Pullman Express", which was to be used by CIWL. It was decided here to purchase 2 electric tow trucks with a luggage compartment. They had an output of more than 1100 hp and were manufactured by SIG/BBC. In 1932/1933, the two vehicles were classified into the stock of the MOB under the model series designation FZE 6/6 with the operating numbers 2001 and 2002. These six-axle Bo'Bo'Bo' traction units have a length over buffer of 17 meters and were traveling at a maximum speed of 60 km/h. At that time, they were one of the strongest electric locomotives circulating on meter gauge in the world! In fact, the two electric cars were supposed to pull the luxury trains, but were not used for them except for a few journeys, because the luxury trains were no longer in demand as a result of the global economic crisis around 1930. For example, the MOB used the two rail cars in freight traffic. Over the years, the two vehicles have undergone several removals and conversions. Especially in the construction of the Hongrin dam at the end of the 1960s, the two towed trucks were a great help in bringing the required cement from Montreux to Allières. At the end of the 1980s, the rail car was completely dismantled in 2001 and should be returned to its original condition. Parts of the towing wagon were manufactured in Montbovon. Parts of the 2001 were used for operational reconditioning of the 2002. The model of this joint rail car is now made in metal in a high-end model in a scale of 1:22.5. As in our other high-end models, the model has a very high level of detail. Colouring and printing in the epoch II. Operating number 2001 of the MOB. Epochs corresponding current collectors and roof structures. The color scheme and printing of the FZE 6/6 2001 were implemented in the state of its delivery to the SIG/BBC and its commissioning at the MOB around 1933, as were the pantographs and roof structures. A mfx/DCC sound decoder with different light and sound functions, such as the Swiss light change, a driver's cabin and interior lighting, digital lifting and lowering pantographs and much more, provide for high play value during operation of the 76 cm long model, which can also travel on the R1 radius without any problems.
