This is a scale model of the internationally famous Swiss mountain locomotive which pulis long freight and passenger trains over difficult terrain, especially the Gotthard Line where it must master many curves and tunnels in addition to heavy grades. The engine is built in 3 sections so that it may adapt itself to the sharp curves. This fact has given it the nick name of "Alligator". Our model is also built in this manner. It therefore can negotiate the sharpest curves without trouble. The prettiest sight in model railroading is to observe the operation of this model, especially in slow motion. One may then marvel at the operation of the drive shafts. Weight about 3 pounds.
