Electric locomotive class 1043 of the Austrian Federal Railways.
* Version with true to original colour theme
In order to meet the wishes of the ÖBB for rapid delivery of new locomotives for the freight transport on the "Tauernbahn", four locomotives were branched off from the series production of the Swedish type Rc 2. The locomotives exceled with thyristor technology and quickly proved perfect for freight transportation. Until 1974 a total of ten locomotives was delivered to the ÖBB.
