Electric Power on the Model Railway

Bahnhof Beltheim is a 1:87 model railway with a gallery dedicated to its locomotives. This page focuses on the electric fleet: models representing engines built to draw power from overhead wires and handle everything from local passenger services to long-distance trains and heavy freight. Their varied shapes, wheel arrangements and liveries make them a distinctive part of the rolling stock. Alongside the diesel locomotives, these models help portray the different ways trains are hauled on the railway. Photos and descriptions let visitors take a closer look at each electric locomotive and the role its prototype was designed to play.
