Swiss RhB Ge2/4 and Ge4/6 Drawings
Hi all,
This is the first post by a new member. I have just finished my first 5 inch gauge passenger-haul electric loco, a boxcab vaguely reminiscent of early Swiss narrow gauge practice. I would now like to make a model of either loco #201 (Ge2/4) or #301 (Ge4/6) of the Rhaetian Railway delivered in 1912 -1918. I have a few photos, but not a good drawing. Can anyone advise where I can get drawings ? Moderate cost is OK. Happy machining, John.

Hello John and welcome to the forum.
This book should contain drawings of 201 and 301. http://tinyurl.com/ygcmjhx Contacting the RhB direct could also be an option. They are usually very friendly towards enthusiasts.

Thanks all for the good wishes, the reference to the ebepe.com website and the reference to the book on the RhB stock.
I have yet to explore the website. If someone could confirm that the book by Finke & Scheers contains drawings of both the Ge2/4 and Ge4/6, I will purchase a copy. Alternatively, I would be happy to purchase said book from a forum member. The current loco is scheduled for its first outing in a few weeks, photo will follow. John, Sydney, Australia.

'BOB' the loco works fine, (inspired by Berne Oberland Bahn 0-C-0 boxcab).
A bit rough, but we will get better. I now have a HO drawing of RhB Loco 201 which should be 'good enough' for us. John
