SBB Re 620 goes to Sweden

Hi friends,
I have recently found an interesting news about SBB Re 620 electric locomotives and their new, quite unexpected whereabouts. The first information came from Railcolornews.com - one of my favorite resources about railway design, news and technology:
https://railcolornews.com/2024/11/20/lo ... r-re-620s/
Doomed to decommissioning and scraping in their native country, these beautiful locomotives are about to find their new home in Sweden, within the fleet of Nordic Re-Finance, the local locomotive leasing provider. The first one, 620 052, received a fascinating Swiss themed livery. This is a computer graphic visualization:

Real implementation of the new livery is slightly different, but the same interesting:

Another real life picture of RE 620 in the new livery can be found on the webpage of the specialist who carried out the foiling of the locomotive:

It is funny that the locomotive received the new owner's street name "Klerebo" instead of the name of the Swiss canton it had before. I found this topic interesting because of the recent announcement and delivery of the beautiful SBB Re 620 locomotives in Z scale. Of course, I doubt that Märklin will dare to introduce this beautiful variant, too, but who knows - the hope dies last. Anyway, it would be an excellent addition which, I believe, would be gladly appreciated even by the collectors who are not interested in Swedish rolling stock.
Best regards,
Alex
