The Crocodile Ge 6/6 'of the Rhaetian Railway
3.1 Description of the Crocodile
The "crocodile", as it is called thanks to its design, is a locomotive of the type Ge 6/6 '. This name means
- G for narrow gauge locomotive - e for electric drive - 6 first number = 6 axles powered - 6 second number = totally 6 axes - ' means that it is the first series Ge 6/6.
The "Blue Crocodile" was in operation from 1999 to 2008. It was the machine Ge 6/6 '412. It was painted blue on the occasion of the anniversaries to 100 years Albula and 75 years Glacier-Express, in order to draw in appropriate outfit the salon train "Alpine Classic Pullman Express" through the mountains. In 2008, unfortunately, came the abrupt end. After a gearbox damage end station was on the junkyard. But today, ma- ny railway enthusiasts this vehicle is a concept.

To the locomotive series of the RhB crocodiles:
The locomotives with the numbers 401 to 415 were built in the years 1921 - 1929. Two of these vehicles are still operational as historical vehicles at RhB today. Their use was for both passenger and freight trains on the entire Rhaetian Railway network (not on the DC operated Bernina line, where a similar machine also exists). Here are some techn. information:
- Gauge 1000 mm, so called narrow or meter gauge - Length over buffer 13.3 meters - Weight, totally 66 tons - Speed max 55 Km / h - Power 1076 hp / 940 kW
The fact that in addition to the two Rhaetian Railway still working "crocodiles" 2 of the 15 machines managed to be preserved as a monument shows the importance of this Loktyp's:
- 402 is now in the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne - 406 is in the railway museum Kerzers / Kallnach - 407 stands as a monument in Bergün - 411 is in the museum in Munich - 412 made history in blue livery until demolition in 2008

2.2 Driver's cab and start-up
For commissioning is only necessary:
- Pantograph up (key P) - switch on the light (key H) - Reversing switch forward (key W) - release the train brake (key ü)
The locomotive has 3 brake systems:
- Apply train brake = release key ö = press ü - Apply loco brake = release key ^ = key ? - Dynamic Brake = key , release = key .
The dynamic Brake (electric brake) only works when the driving switch at position 0. Driving switch is the big handwheel. This switches the gears.
Door operation and stop register at stations:
- First press button T to register the stop - doors open on the left = button U on the right = button O - Doors close on both sides = L key

2.3 Keyboard assignment and operation with the mouse
Based on the route of "Heidi-Express" by Simtrain.ch, the keyboard shortcuts are largely a- ligned with this product. The commissioning of the crocodile locomotive was kept simpler, but keyboard commands and clickable icons in the interface F4 are functional.
For the operation of the "crocodile" the following keyboard commands apply:
K Key switch that is not available at the crocodile, so no function N Control circuit breaker that is not available at the crocodile, so no function M Main switch is combined with panto switch, so no function P Pantograph up / down (is above at start) W Reversing switch forward S Reversing switch backwards A Rotary switch (tap-changer handwheel), upshift D Rotary switch (tap-changer handwheel), downshift Ö Braking train brake Ü Release the train brake ^ Brake on the locomotive brake ? Release the loco brake , (comma) dynamic / electr. Brake brake . (Point) dynamic / electr. Release brake X Sander V Windscreen wipers on / off Q Acknowledge / reset SIFA alarm CTRL+ENTER Disable / enable SIFA altogether backspace Emergency braking space bar locomotive whistle
At stations door control:
T Stop note, pick up the load U Doors open on the left O Doors open on the right L Close the door

The WR 3812 - Gourmino dining car
There were very different types of these blue dining cars. On the one hand, these we- re conversions from old vehicles, but on the other hand also new buildings. Common to all was the name "Gourmino" and the blue color.
The car WR 3812 is a dining car built in 1930 for Mitropa, which was modernized in 1974 and completely redesigned in 1996. On the one hand, on the one hand, he re- ceived again an interior decoration corresponding to the original equipment, but on the other hand his blue color.
