Prototype: The BCFe 4/4 railcar was built by SWS and AEG and is part of a series of three BCFe 4/4 and two CFZe 4/4 that went into service in 1913 when the first section of the Aigle-Le Sépey line opened. In 1942 the vehicle BCFe 4/4 no.2 was renumbered to no.3 and at the same time it was slightly modernized. The typical half-windows have been preserved. This was also when the ADSD switched its color scheme from the original red to gray / blue / cream. In 1948 the railcar was renumbered again to number 11. The pantographs from 1913 were also renewed. From 1975 a new ASD logo was created. In the same year, the railcar got into a serious accident. Despite the major damage to the luggage compartment and driver's cab no 1, the car was rebuilt. Cabin no 1 now has rounded front windows and the luggage compartment has large sliding doors. The railcar no.11 was unfortunately canceled in 1989 - after 76 years of loyal service.
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.
