Fleischmann 5560001 - 3-piece set: rack railway, private railway

Model details

Train set with an electric rack railway locomotive (similar to E 69) and two 2nd class passenger carriages of a private railway.

Locomotive for real rack railway operation
Suitable for the FLEISCHMANN rack rail 9119
Due to the enormous climbing ability (up to 25%) on rack rails, the locomotive overcomes extraordinary differences in height even in the smallest of spaces
The locomotive can be driven with and without FLEISCHMANN rack rails

Cog railways exude a very special fascination with their unique combination of mountain scenery and daring routes, with numerous bridges and tunnels. The train moves forward by engaging a gear wheel with a rack in the middle of the track, since the usual friction between wheel and rail is no longer sufficient for the steep gradients. In the case of rack railways of the so-called mixed system, in which friction sections alternate with rack sections depending on the gradient, the traction is exerted by one and the same machine. In the Alps there are a particularly large number of private rack railways, which are very popular with tourists from all over the world.
