Joe, Close. Jurg was on an Ae 6/6. They look similar, but the SZL is an Re 6/6. One dead give away is the bolt panel on the front of the Ae 6/6 that is easily seen in Jurg's photo. The 6/6 has a smooth front. Marklin offers the Ae 6/6, but not the Cargo version like the one Jurg rode on. Rob
Joe, the Re 6/6 has 3 Trucks with 2 Axles each and the Ae 6/6 has 2 Trucks with 3 Axles each. The Re 6/6 is more modern (starts in the year 1972) and has 10'000 Horsepower instead of 6'000 (Ae 6/6). There are many other differences but the easyiest way to distinguish are the Trucks. It's like the GP9 and SD9.
Thanks for the clarification guys. Jurg that explanation makes sense, I can understand and relate to that.
Joe and all, Here is some great resource information and photos on these two classes of locomotives. SBB-CFF-FFS Re 620 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia SBB-CFF-FFS Ae 6/6 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rob
