Bemo 1001852 H0e Diesel locomotive 251 901 'DB', RüBB, Era V

The Bemo 1001852 H0e diesel locomotive 251 901 'DB' is a high-quality model of the Rügensche BäderBahn (RüBB) in Era V. Originally developed for the Württemberg narrow gauge lines, the V51 901 was repainted and provided with DB lettering. The model reflects the current paint scheme and is a perfect addition for model railroaders who want to recreate the modern operation of the RüBB on their layout.

The prototype of the V51 901

The V51 series was built in the 1960s for use on narrow-gauge lines in Baden-Württemberg. It had two powerful diesel engines and was designed for operation on 750 mm and 1000 mm gauges. The locomotive with the number 251 901 came to RüBB at the end of 1998 and is now used for shunting tasks and as support for steam trains on the section of line with a three-rail track between Putbus and Lauterbach. Due to the operational conditions, the diesel locomotive supports the end of the train there, as it is not possible to change trains at the terminus.

The Rügen BäderBahn (RüBB)

The RüBB, better known as the "Rasender Roland", is a historic narrow-gauge railroad on the island of Rügen. It connects the Baltic seaside resorts and is very popular with tourists and locals alike. In addition to the characteristic steam locomotives, the RüBB also uses modern vehicles such as the diesel locomotive 251 901 to make operations more flexible. The combination of tradition and modernity makes this railroad line particularly fascinating.

Bemo - Quality in narrow gauge model making

The Bemo company is known for its detailed and precisely manufactured narrow gauge models. With decades of experience, Bemo offers high-quality models that are both visually and technically impressive. The replica of the V51 901 impressively demonstrates the manufacturer's commitment to realistic locomotives that set standards in terms of workmanship and driving characteristics.

Era V - The railroad in transition

Era V extends from 1990 to 2006 and marks a time of change in the German railroad system. With reunification and the merger of the Deutsche Bundesbahn and the Reichsbahn, new structures were created, while the appearance of many vehicles was modernized. The V51 901 is an example of these changes, as it was provided with new paint schemes and lettering in order to fit in with the modern operations of the RüBB.

Technical details of the model

The model of the V51 901 from Bemo is designed in H0e gauge (1:87) and has a length over buffers of 112.4 mm. The locomotive is suitable for a minimum radius of 280 mm and has its own coupler pocket. It is equipped with a 2-wire direct current system and has a solderable interface for optional digitization. A sound function is not integrated, but can be retrofitted.

H0e gauge - Detailed narrow gauge on a scale of 1:87

The H0e gauge corresponds to a prototype gauge of 750 mm and is one of the most popular model railroad variants for narrow-gauge railroads. The narrow tracks make it possible to create compact layouts with tight radii that authentically reflect the original. H0e offers a particularly attractive playing experience, especially for lovers of branch lines and historical routes.

Color scheme and design - authentic implementation

The model is designed in the current RüBB color scheme with DB lettering. The fine printing and true-to-original paintwork give the locomotive a realistic appearance. Thanks to the high-quality workmanship and precise attention to detail, the model is a perfect replica of the original.

High-quality workmanship and driving characteristics

Bemo stands for quality and attention to detail. The V51 901 impresses with its precise engravings, intricate add-on parts and solid construction. The model offers reliable driving characteristics and smooth running, making it an ideal vehicle for demanding model railroaders.

Extensions and retrofitting options

The model can be customized with various extensions. A digital decoder enables operation on digital layouts and provides additional functions. If you want even more realism, you can retrofit a sound module to simulate the characteristic sounds of the diesel locomotive. Replacement couplings, wheel sets and various detailing sets are also available to further refine the model.

Recommended purchase for narrow gauge enthusiasts

The Bemo 1001852 H0e diesel locomotive 251 901 'DB' is a must for all model railroaders who strive for an authentic representation of modern RüBB operation. The combination of detailed design, high-quality running characteristics and a wide range of retrofitting options makes this locomotive a valuable part of any H0e layout. Especially in combination with the matching RüBB modernization cars, realistic train compositions can be created that combine the nostalgic flair of the narrow-gauge railroad with modern elements.

Scope of delivery

The model is supplied in sturdy packaging and includes detailed operating instructions with information on maintenance and care. Optional accessories such as digital decoders or sound modules can be purchased separately.

Product advantages

The V51 901 impresses with its exact replica of the prototype, finely detailed paintwork and lettering as well as solid workmanship. It is suitable for both analog and digital systems and can be expanded with additional modules. Thanks to its reliable running characteristics, the locomotive is ideal for operation on narrow-gauge railroads with tight radii.
