For better curve behaviour they had a special axle arrangement: the three central axles could move sidewards in the frame and the first and last two axles of each half were combined to special `Java trucks'. The locos were technically and optically different from each other: the 11801 had a Buchli drive, the 11851 and 11852 had a Winterthur universal drive. The 11852 was the most powerful locomotive of the world, it was also lighter than the other two and had a more streamlined carbody. ________________________________________________________________ /"\
