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.
