Description
Crocodile Double Set. 2 different Swiss Federal Railways (SBB/CFF/FFS) class Ce 6/8 II Crocodile freight locomotives. Class from the first production series. A dark brown version as it originally looked around 1922, with open buffers, walk-over plates at the ends, small steps for brakemen, without a wrong track operation light, and without an inductive magnet. Locomotive road number 14268. A pine green version as it looked in the Fifties, with solid buffers, without walk-over plates at the ends, small steps for brakemen, with a wrong track operation light, and with an inductive magnet. Locomotive road number 14272. Source: www.maerklin.de Crocodiles. The Swiss mountain locomotives that pulled heavy freight trains over the Gotthard grades are known as Crocodiles. The design (hoods mounted for articulation, stretched out shape) and the color green gave them their name. These units snaked like a reptile through the curves when negotiating turnout combinations and S curves. Six-axle standard gauge locomotive, only for large curves, faithful reproduction of the Crocodile Locomotive … was the description in the Märklin catalog of 1933/34 for the reproduction of the latest locomotive from Switzerland. The design and the pulling power of the original locomotive impressed people so much at that time, that it became a synonym for progress and power. A legend that was part of Märklins history from that point on. This legendary locomotive was offered in all of Märklins scales. First in 1 Gauge and 0 Gauge, then in H0, and even in Mini-Club Z Gauge. It was the top product offered everywhere and thus became the unofficial heraldic animal of Märklin.
