SBB Ae 3/6I, new locomotive
Today, the 28th of june 2025, the BNS received a new Roco locomotive from Modellbahn Union from Germany. The lok is equipped with sound and is ready for service after a running in period of more than 1 hour. The loco runs more smooth now, but experience tells me that after 10 hours most locos start to run as they should.

All the BLS 465 are from around the 2005 when most of the 25x, 27x and the 18x/19x series were in service, also the 205 was to be seen at Thun and Leissigen.

On this picture you see one of the wheelsets from a Roco Silberling. Good to see is how the wheels are touching the rails and some wear.
ICN axel molten
ICN axel molten
On the Roco ICN we have two wheelsets were the axel is molten. I think is has to do with dirt or moisture in the axel itself. Only two axels have this problem. New axels are ordered from Roco and ready to replace the faulty ones.

The BNS will continue testing outdoor railroading in H0 in 2024/2025. The time in which the BNS is set is from 1990 to 2006. Mainly based on the Swiss example. This is the time when many holidays were spent in Switzerland and this atmosphere is incorporated into a trackplan. The trackplan will consist of an outdoor and an indoor section. The outdoor section will be temporarily built with train tables over the next two years and later permanently made of stone/concreet.

First loco maintenance 08-jan
The first locomotive maintance found place today, the SBB 10807 had her 20 hour maintenance. No defects where found, cleaning and lubricating was sufficient to get her on track.
Currently the two trains are pulled with the SBB 10801 (intercity) and the SBB 10812 (local). See picture of the 10812 to get an idea what a SBB Ae 4/6 is.
