The IV K - A legend of the narrow gauge railways

The IV K, one of the best-known narrow-gauge steam locomotives, was built in a total of twelve series between 1892 and 1921. Its design, developed by Jean Jacques Meyer from Alsace, was groundbreaking: two cylinder groups, each with two axles, were combined into one bogie, which ensured excellent cornering ability. The long length also made it possible to install a powerful long boiler, which made the IV K one of the most powerful narrow-gauge locomotives of its time.

During their long service life, the locomotives had to undergo numerous structural modifications, including extensive renovations in the 1960s, during which many locomotives received new frames and boilers. Until the introduction of the DR numbering scheme in 1970, 33 locomotives were still in active service. Today, some of these vehicles are among the stars of museum and tourist railroads, where they continue to delight enthusiasts and railroad fans.

Historical model: In service in Mügeln around 1900

This model depicts an IV K in its early design and represents the condition around 1900 in the Mügeln area of operation. Characteristic of this design are the wooden lining of the driver's cab, the driver's cab roof structure and the lettering "K IV". The lever brake that was common at the time has also been faithfully reproduced. These early features give the model a special historical charm and make it an authentic replica of the early years of use of the IV K.

Technical highlights of the Bemo 1016819 IV K No. 130

The Bemo 1016819 IV K No. 130 impresses with its excellent technical features. It is driven by a bell-type armature motor with a flywheel, which ensures extremely smooth and even running characteristics.

The drive as well as the current consumption are carried out via all driving and coupling axles, which further increases operational safety.

The digital interface (6-pin, solder on cable) allows the installation of a decoder so that the model can be operated on digital layouts without any problems. With a minimum radius of 280 mm, the locomotive is ideal for H0e narrow gauge lines. It is important to note that the model cannot be converted to H0m gauges.

Era I - The beginnings of the railroad

The model reflects the early phase of railroad development in Germany. In Era I, which lasted until 1920, the regional organization of the railroads was still dominated by the state railroads such as the K.Sächs.Sts.E.B. This era is characterized by its unique aesthetics and the transition from experimental to standardized construction methods. The IV K is a prime example of this era and an essential part of any collection of Era I models.
