Electric locomotive Re 465 008-1 belonging to the Swiss railway company BLS.
� Model with elaborate printing in Golden Pass design
� Closed front apron included
The Bern-Lotschberg-Simplon-Bahn (BLS) ordered an advancement of the general-purpose locomotive based on the SBB class 460 from the Swiss companies SLM Winterthur and ABB Zurich under class designation 465. In contrast to class 460, the locomotives not only have one frequency converter per bogie, but one frequency converter per axle. This allows the tractive force to be optimally applied to the rail. BLS uses the 18 locomotives mainly for freight traffic, but also in front of shuttle service trains.
