Here are three impressive Swiss loco-monsters: the Ae 8/14 which
were built for heavy trains over the Gotthard line. For better
curve behaviour they had a special axle arrangement: the three
central axles could move sidewards in the frame and the first
and last two axles of each half were combined to special `Java
trucks'. The locos were technically and optically different from
each other: the 11801 had a Buchli drive, the 11851 and 11852
had a Winterthur universal drive. The 11852 was the most
powerful locomotive of the world, it was also lighter than the
other two and had a more streamlined carbody.
