Overhaul of a 1:5 model locomotive

We completely refurbished the model of the RhB Ge 4/4 641 locomotive over four months, overhauling it mechanically and electrically.

The locomotive then reappeared in its new livery as MOB Ge 4/4 8004.

The entire drivetrain was replaced, as was the whole locomotive control system with all its controls. In addition, the vehicle was fitted with a compressed-air system so it can also haul air-braked trains.

The vehicle now has two powered bogies of 3 kW each and modern controls based on a Siemens S7-1200 PLC.

CSGermann GmbH was responsible for the entire planning of the project, the complete electrical conversion and the development of the software.

The vehicle is now in regular service as the club locomotive of the Dampfbahn Aaretal in Münsingen BE.
