Marklin 3356
3356 “Crocodile” Freight locomotive.
Swiss Federal Railways class Be 6/8
The marvelous Swiss Crocodiles, heavy freight locomotives developed for transportation over the Gotthard Pass, have made railroad history and have become the dream of model railroad as well as railroad enthusiasts. Whether in the Swiss Federal Railways brown or green version of the class Ce 6/8, they fascinate the adults and children more and more in the few examples that have been preserved in prototype operation. Even the men who once drove them over the Gotthard still speak lovingly of them today. Developed in the early period of electrification in Switzerland, they underwent numerous modifications in the course of their history, so that there are a large number of variations of them.
