Bemo 1006872 steam locomotive 99 714 der DRG Ep. II Product Details

Description

With this product, the quality manufacturer Bemo presents the detailed steam locomotive model "DRG 99 714".

In 1881, the Royal Saxon State Railroad (K.Sä.Sts.B.) opened the first of a total of 30 narrow gauge lines. A track gauge of 750 mm was chosen for the majority of the 561 km long network. The steep gradients and winding lines soon became a challenge for many locomotive builders: the double locomotive II K imported from England, the III K with the Klose engine, the articulated locomotive IV K type Meyer or the V K with Klien-Lindner hollow axles had engine designs that required a lot of maintenance. It was only with the VI K, procured in 1918 for the former army field railroads, that powerful and - with laterally displaceable wheelsets of the Gölsdorf system - simply constructed 750 mm machines arrived. Emerging signs of wear forced the DR to modernize and reboiler some locomotives from 1963 onwards. Nevertheless, the VI K disappeared from service in 1975, not least due to the high axle loads. Today, the 1'E 1' unit locomotives procured by the DRG and DR dominate.
