Historical background of the Saxon IV K

The Saxon IV K was developed from 1892 by the Saxon Machine Factory in Chemnitz for the Royal Saxon State Railways. With a total of 96 units built, it was the most-built narrow-gauge steam locomotive for a state railroad in Germany. Its design as an articulated locomotive of the Meyer type with four axles and a track gauge of 750 mm enabled it to be used on Saxony's narrow-gauge lines with their many curves and gradients. The IV K proved its worth in both passenger and freight traffic and significantly shaped the image of Saxony's narrow-gauge railroads.

The Royal Saxon State Railway and its narrow-gauge network

The Königlich Sächsische Staatseisenbahn opened the first of a total of 30 narrow-gauge railroads in 1881. The route network stretched over 561 kilometers, whereby a track gauge of 750 mm was chosen for the most part. Saxony's challenging topographical conditions with numerous gradients and tight curves placed high demands on the locomotive technology. Various locomotive types, including the double locomotive II K imported from England and the articulated locomotive IV K type Meyer, were tested in order to meet the operational challenges.

Technical details of the BEMO 1016830 steam locomotive kit

The BEMO 1016830 kit impresses with its high-quality workmanship and attention to detail. The use of white metal and brass ensures a robust yet delicate construction. The built-in bell-shaped armature motor with flywheel mass ensures smooth and powerful running. The plastic gearbox contributes to the longevity and precision of the model. Drive and power consumption are via all driving and coupling axles, which ensures optimum power transmission and a reliable power supply.

Era and areas of use

The model of the Saxon IV K represents the period of use in eras I to IV, i.e. from the introduction of the locomotive at the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. During this period, the IV K was used on numerous narrow-gauge lines in Saxony and handled both passenger and freight trains. Its versatility and reliability made it an indispensable part of the Saxon narrow-gauge network.

Gauge and current system

The kit is designed for the H0e gauge, which corresponds to a prototype gauge of 750 mm. This model cannot be converted to H0m.
