They do not have pantographs with narrow wipers and do not normally operate in Switzerland. Voltage would fit, but there is no Integra. Are you looking for a class 185 loco with four pantographs? Those locos operate in Switzerland on the Gotthard line - same as the Re 482 locos of the SBB. Roco make nice models with Integra magnets and rear-view cameras. The Märklin/Trix models with plastic bodies also have the Integra magnets.
