The Bemo 1016820 Dampflokbausatz IV-K is a meticulously crafted model kit that celebrates the rich tradition of Saxon narrow-gauge steam locomotives. This high-quality model captures the essence of the early IV-K steam locomotive from the Royal Saxon State Railways (K.Sächs.Sts.E.B.), depicting it as it appeared in Epoches I through III. With its detailed historical design, including a wooden cab structure, this locomotive is a true collector’s item that brings the charm and heritage of Saxony’s narrow-gauge railways to any H0e-scale model railway layout.
First introduced in 1892, the Saxon IV-K—also known as the "IV K"—was a pioneering locomotive that defined the landscape of narrow-gauge railways in Saxony for decades. Designed by the renowned engineer Jean Jacques Meyer, these locomotives were optimized for the tight curves and challenging routes typical of Saxon narrow-gauge tracks. Featuring a unique dual-cylinder design with two axles per bogie, the IV-K offered exceptional maneuverability, making it a vital asset on curvy and demanding routes. Known for their durability and efficiency, many IV-K locomotives remained in service until the early 1970s, with some even operating beyond. This Bemo model brings that legacy to life, offering a piece of railway history for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The Bemo 1016820 IV-K kit sets a high standard for quality and detail. Designed in H0e scale, the model reflects the locomotive’s early build form, complete with distinctive historical features like the wooden cab structure. The accurately recreated roof of the cab and authentic paintwork lend the model an unmistakable historic charm, making it a standout piece on any model railway layout.
Bemo has used premium materials for this kit, including high-grade white metal and brass, which add durability and lend a refined aesthetic to the model. These materials, along with precisely crafted components, make the model both a collectible and a robust choice for running on model railways. Additionally, the model is powered by a bell armature motor with a flywheel, enabling smooth, realistic performance on the tracks.
The engineering behind the Bemo 1016820 IV-K is a testament to Bemo’s commitment to authenticity and performance. Key features include:
