Prototype: From 1896, the A 3/5 of the Gotthard Railway was "on everyone's lips"; at that time, the locomotive was presented to the public for the first time "hands-on" at the second national exhibition in Geneva. The locomotive primarily presented the rapidly growing national industry of Switzerland. The A 3/5 202 was a milestone of this exhibition, both technically and in its unusual elegance. The locomotive was manufactured by the Lokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik (SLM) in Winterthur. After the successful test runs and trials with the prototypes number 201 and 202, the Gotthard Railway ordered 28 locomotives of the four-cylinder type. The machines were delivered in 4 series by 1905.
The first series locomotives operated from the Erstfeld, Bellinzona and Biasca depots. All locomotives were taken over by the SBB/CFF and then given the 900 numbers (901-930). From 1926 onwards, the machines were gradually decommissioned and some were resold. Unfortunately, no example survived.
The first model produced was a steam locomotive 141 R in H0 gauge. In the following years, Fulgurex brought further models in gauges 0; 1 and N onto the market.
Fulgurex has always been known for its finely detailed handcrafted locomotives.
