Ge 4\/4 II 611, the first member of the class, was selected as the first locomotive for the project and was restored to an approximation of its original green appearance, with raised chrome-finished side lettering and nameplates. It entered service in this heritage appearance in spring 2023, marking 50 years since the Ge 4\/4 II class entered service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60074521559424,"sku":"KAT-3102-5","price":106.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/k3102-5.jpg?v=1791468999"},{"product_id":"kato-14-503-4-rail-cleaning-patrol-tram","title":"Kato 14-503-4 Rail Cleaning Patrol Tram","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRail Cleaning Patrol Tram\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60074559897984,"sku":"KAT-14-503-4","price":46.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/k14-503-4.jpg?v=1791469279"}],"url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/collections\/new-kato-october-2026.oembed","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
