The Bemo 1006870 is a detailed kit that enables model builders to faithfully reproduce the impressive VI K steam locomotive of the Saxon narrow-gauge railroads. This steam locomotive, known as a replica of the VI K series, represents an important era in German railroad history and is a valuable addition to any model railway collection. With a gauge of H0m and impressive detailing, the kit offers an excellent opportunity to bring the history of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) and the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) to life.
The VI K steam locomotive was developed and built by the Royal Saxon State Railway between 1918 and 1921. It was intended to master the operational challenges of the Saxon narrow-gauge railroads, which were operated with heavy trains on winding lines with steep gradients. The VI K was a Pacific locomotive with a 1'C1' axle arrangement, equipped with a powerful boiler and a three-axle engine.
With its gauge of 750 mm, the VI K was particularly suitable for use on narrow-gauge lines. A total of 15 locomotives of this series were built, which were characterized by their robustness and reliability. The locomotives were used for both freight and passenger services, particularly on challenging routes in Saxony.
The VI K was one of the most modern narrow-gauge steam locomotives of its time and reliably coped with the demanding conditions of narrow-gauge lines. Its versatility made it an indispensable part of the Saxon narrow-gauge railroads, and some units remained in service until the 1970s.
After the foundation of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) in Era II (1920-1945), the VI K locomotives were integrated into the DRG numbering system. They were given the road numbers 99 671-685 and continued to be used on the narrow gauge lines in Saxony. The locomotives were known for their reliability and were regularly serviced in order to meet the increasing demands.
In Era III (1945-1970), the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) in the GDR took over the operation of the narrow gauge lines. The VI K locomotives continued to be used, but were modernized to meet the changed operating conditions. Some locomotives were fitted with new boilers to increase their performance. These modifications enabled the DR to operate the locomotives economically until the late 1960s.
