The Re 460 is one of the most recognisable electric classes on the Swiss network, and Fleischmann's reference 7560050 brings it to N scale with a level of detail that does justice to its distinctive silhouette. This model reproduces the number 460 100-1 with the baptismal name 'Tösstal' on the bodywork, the closed front skirt and the ribbed side panels that visually define the entire 'Lok 2000' family. In analogue DC, it is ready to run straight out of the box on any two-rail layout.
A 'Lok 2000' recognisable at first glance
The Re 460's design panoramic front window, roof fairing and ribbed side panels reads very clearly even in N scale. Fleischmann has preserved those features across the 116 mm length of this model, making the locomotive immediately identifiable both in motion and in the display cabinet. The switchable LED lighting, with three front headlights and two red rear lights that change with the direction of travel, adds visual coherence to movement without any additional intervention.
Traction and track performance
Four powered axles, a three-pole motor with flywheel and two traction tyres provide a solid traction base for an N scale locomotive. The 192 mm minimum radius allows it to be integrated into layouts with relatively tight curves, and the NEM 355 coupling with short-coupling kinematics makes it easy to form consists without excessive gaps between units. The NEM 651 interface with Next18 connector is available for anyone who wants to move to digital operation at a later stage.
In consist and on the layout
On an Era VI layout with SBB rolling stock, the Re 460 100-1 sits naturally at the head of passenger coaches or leading a mixed formation. Its compact length 116 mm makes it manageable even on layouts with limited space, and the closed front skirt gives it a clean finish that is especially appreciated when the locomotive is standing at a station or in the foreground of a scene. For anyone building a contemporary Swiss layout in N scale, this Re 460 provides a strong visual reference for the whole composition.
