The Fleischmann 7560013 reproduces the BLS Re 465 009-9 electric locomotive in N scale, wearing the pistachio green Refit-Design livery that defines the modernised look of this series in Era VI. The die-cast metal chassis gives it a weight and presence on the track that is immediately noticeable, while the four motorised axles with two traction tyres deliver solid haulage even on layouts with gradients.
A Re 465 with detail and functionality in N scale
The locomotive features directional LED lighting: three white lights at the front and two red lights at the rear, switching automatically with the direction of travel. The Faiveley pantograph comes detailed straight from the factory, and the closed front apron is included as an interchangeable part. The flywheel smooths out the running and adds continuity to the movement, particularly on straight sections. The NEM 651 interface allows a digital decoder to be fitted in the future without any additional modifications.
Confirmed technical data
N scale (1:160), analogue DC 2-rail system, Era VI. Length 116 mm, minimum radius 192 mm. NEM 355 short coupler with KK kinematics. Die-cast metal chassis. Four motorised axles with two traction tyres. Pistachio green Refit-Design livery, operator BLS (Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon), number 009-9.
On the layout and in a consist
At 116 mm long, the Re 465 009-9 takes up just the right amount of space to lead a modern consist without visually overpowering the rest of the train. On an N scale layout with a radius from 192 mm, it runs smoothly and the pistachio green of the Refit-Design sets it apart within the motive power fleet without needing anything else added. Paired with modern passenger coaches or rolling stock from the same Era VI, the balance between locomotive and hauled train feels natural and coherent.
