Hi Guys
Yes , this is the operable-self propelled rotary of the Rhaetian Railways. Hs two 3 axle trucks .(Kind of a rotary body on a mallet frame) and was built to pull itself up the steep grades of the Bernina Pass, even though it's beeing pushed most of the time by one of the dual mode engines as seen on the picture. The rotary mechanism is pretty much the same as on OM or OY.
