This is an SBB Re 4/4 IV. There were only five of these built for the Swiss railway and was not put into regular production because of various difficulties. Each of the five were painted in a different livery to see which looked better. This one is Traffic Red with grey lower trim and grey roof. Another was grey with red cabs front and back, another was all red, and two other variations.

It was designed in the late 90s and all were produced in 2000.

This one came from ebay with a Lokpilot 4 installed and is running well. I may add a Loksound 5 in the future.

The bridge is under construction. I 3D printed the "concrete" posts and supports. The railings- I designed a steel railing common to roads in the US. Painted with Tur-Color aluminum and acrylic brown and gray. Need to finish the landscaping and touchup the colors, then add trucks and cars.

Update- new pictures. I have a "mountain" in one corner of the layout. So, I decided to make a road up the mountain. 3D printed concrete supports and girders, and roadside steel barriers. The vehicles were also 3D printed and finished. The top photo is before I detailed the bridge. The lower two photos were taken after detailing.
