Bemo 1016826 steam locomotive 99 566 der DR Ep. III

Bemo 1016826 H0e Steam locomotive 99 566 of the DR - Narrow gauge romance from era III

With the Bemo 1016826 steam locomotive 99 566, Bemo is bringing a high-quality finished model in H0e scale (1:87 on 9 mm track) to the model railroad layout. The locomotive of the German Reichsbahn (DR) from Era III is exemplary for the use on the romantic narrow-gauge railroads of the GDR - be it on the Selketalbahn, the Fichtelbergbahn or other legendary lines in the Harz and Erzgebirge. Equipped with a bell-shaped armature motor for sensitive driving characteristics and an in-house coupler pocket, this model offers authentic narrow-gauge flair for all H0e fans.

Prototype: Steam locomotive 99 566 - workhorse of the narrow gauge railroads

The 99 566 is part of the Saxon VI K series, which was built between 1918 and 1927 for the Saxon narrow gauge railroads. In Era III, these locomotives were in service on numerous 750 mm lines under the care of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Robust, versatile and unmistakable in appearance - these locomotives are among the most important narrow gauge locomotives in German railroad history.

Model description: Compact, precise, powerful

The Bemo model 1016826 is a finely detailed finished model that is equipped with a powerful bell-type armature motor. This ensures smooth running even at slow speeds - ideal for prototypical narrow-gauge operation. The locomotive is also digitally prepared so that subsequent installation of a decoder is possible without any problems. With a length over buffers of 103.5 mm, it is perfectly suited for compact H0e layouts with tight radii.

Technical highlights of the Bemo 99 566

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about the Bemo 1016826 steam locomotive 99 566

Can the model be controlled digitally?

No, the model is analog when delivered. However, it is digitally prepared, i.e. the installation of a decoder is planned and can be easily retrofitted.

What does H0e mean?

H0e is a scale of 1:87 (like H0), but with narrow-gauge track of 9 mm (corresponds to the gauge of N). This allows narrow radii and compact layouts to be realized, ideal for scenarios with narrow-gauge railroads.

Which era is represented?

The locomotive represents the condition of Era III (approx. 1949-1970) - the time of the classic German Reichsbahn of the GDR. It is ideal for layouts with historical narrow gauge operation in East Germany.

Are there any special visual details?

The locomotive impresses with its filigree add-on parts, authentic black color scheme and a true-to-original silhouette of the Saxon VI K. The model is factory-assembled and offers a high level of detail despite its compact size.

How is the locomotive suitable for operation?

Thanks to the powerful bell-type armature motor and the compact dimensions, the locomotive is ideal for small layouts and tight curve radii. Perfect for branch lines, museum railroads or narrow gauge scenarios.
