Bemo 1014806 H0e Steam locomotive 99 621, DRG, Era II

The Bemo 1014806 H0e steam locomotive 99 621 is a detailed replica of the Württemberg Klose locomotive Tss 4 in the version of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) during Era II. This ready-made model enables model railroad enthusiasts to authentically depict historical narrow-gauge operation on their layouts.

The prototype of the Tss 4

The Tss 4 was built in 1894 by Maschinenfabrik Esslingen for the Bottwartalbahn. These four-couplers were the first narrow-gauge locomotives with 750 mm track gauge in Württemberg. They had a special drive unit, developed by senior engineer Adolph Klose, which enabled radial adjustment of the axles. Despite this innovation, the engine proved to be high-maintenance, which led to its withdrawal from service in the 1920s.

The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) in Era II

Era II (1920-1945) was characterized by the standardization of railroad operations in Germany under the DRG. During this time, many locomotives were reclassified and renumbered. The Tss 4 was given the road number 99 621 and continued to be used on narrow gauge lines.
