With the Bemo 1016828 steam locomotive 99 1568-7, Bemo presents an exquisite small series model in handcrafted quality for the H0e gauge. This locomotive pays homage to the famous narrow-gauge steam locomotives of the German Reichsbahn in Era IV and impresses with its combination of investment casting in white metal, precise brass parts, a powerful Faulhaber bell-type armature motor and digital interface. This model is a real gem for collectors and fine model railroaders with an authentic look and outstanding technology.

Prototype: The 99 1568-7 - narrow gauge legend in classic red and black

The 99 1568-7 steam locomotive belongs to the traditional series of Saxon VI K locomotives that have been in service on narrow gauge lines in Saxony and Thuringia since the beginning of the 20th century. In Era IV, it continued to be used by the Deutsche Reichsbahn for local and tourist services, particularly on lines such as the Preßnitz Valley Railway or Weißeritz Valley Railway. With its red and black paint scheme, typical DR lettering and steaming silhouette, it shaped the image of many romantic branch lines.

Model description: Brass handwork meets precision drive

The Bemo 1016828 is a genuine handcrafted model in a small series, made of high-quality white metal and brass components. The built-in Faulhaber bell-type armature motor with flywheel mass ensures particularly smooth running, even at low speeds - ideal for realistic operating sequences. All driving and coupling axles are driven, giving the model impressive tractive power. An NEM651 interface also allows the retrofitting of a decoder for digital operation.

Technical highlights at a glance

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about the Bemo 1016828 steam locomotive 99 1568-7

Can the model be controlled digitally?

As delivered, the locomotive is analog. However, it has an NEM651 interface (6-pin, soldered version) so that subsequent installation of a decoder for digital operation is possible without any problems.

What is special about the brass/white metal construction?

This manufacturing technique is usually only used for small series models made by hand. It offers exceptional attention to detail, robustness and lasting value - perfect for collectors and model railroaders with high standards.

What does H0e mean?

H0e is a scale of 1:87 with 9 mm track gauge - ideal for depicting narrow-gauge railroads. H0e models can be operated on standard N-gauge track and are ideal for compact layouts with tight radii.

How realistic is the color scheme and lettering?

The model has a true-to-original red and black paint scheme with typical DR lettering from Era IV - authentic for use in the 1970s on the GDR narrow-gauge network.
