Description

Product Background:
1. Designed and licensed by Gabriele, this model is a faithful replica of the iconic Italian Railways electric locomotive, the E.464. The vehicle features a predominantly gray color scheme, with yellow and blue stripes on the sides corresponding to the blue roof, while the lower section of the body is adorned with two distinct blue and yellow bands. The locomotive's nose is finished in blue. This model offers exceptional playability and significant collectible value.
2. Historical Context: The E.464 series is a type of electric locomotive utilized by Italian Railways. Introduced in the 1990s, these locomotives were designed to haul light trains—specifically commuter services. The Italian national railway operator (FS Trenitalia) acquired them to replace aging E.424 and E.646 series locomotives, which had been manufactured in the 1940s and 1950s. The E.464 series was originally designed by ABB Trazione and manufactured at their facility in Vado Ligure, Italy.
As of December 2015, a total of 717 E.464 locomotives were in active service. This makes it the largest single class of locomotive currently in operation within the Trenitalia fleet, as well as the most numerous locomotive model ever deployed in the history of Italian railways.
