Hi, can anyone tell me if this loc has a cast metal body, or does it have a plastic one? Thanks

The Ae 6/6 11453 from the 29850/51 Start Set comes with a metal body and shell. It was delivered with an OEM ESU mfx decoder and sound module. Like the 39361 before it, it comes with a clear instead of a green tinted set of windows. This Ae 6/6 was the first green Ae 6/6 to come with this feature. The Lok has the city crest of Arth-Goldau, which is the station where the Zuerich and Luzern/Basel lines merge to continue south to the Gotthard. It has the regular Maerklin motor, as do the other Ae 6/6 (except the 39361 C-Sine), and Re 4/4II and Re 6/6 models.

Thanks for those replies. Most helpful! So I am looking at SBB coaches and prefer the tinplate versions such as the 4015, 4016, 4017 etc. I recently purchased a 348/4 Baggage Car. I am thinking a 3050 or 3350 SBB AE6/6 to put them behind. Any other suggestions or comment on the prototypes?

Regards
