Description

Bemo 1016836 Steam Locomotive 99 (54-60) sächs. IV K 176 - Narrow gauge railroad classic of the Royal Saxon State Railways

The Bemo 1016836 steam locomotive 99 (54-60) sächs. IV K 176 is a detailed replica of one of the legendary Saxon narrow gauge locomotives. As part of the first uniformly procured narrow gauge locomotives of the Royal Saxon State Railways (K.Sächs.Sts.E.B.), the IV K was a milestone in German locomotive construction. This model in H0e scale impresses with its excellent attention to detail and precise realization of the historical prototype.

Historical background of the Saxon IV K

The Royal Saxon State Railroad opened its first of a total of 30 narrow gauge lines in 1881. The IV K was designed as an articulated locomotive of the Meyer type and shaped the appearance of the Saxon 750 mm narrow gauge railroads for decades. With its flexible design, it mastered challenging routes with tight curve radii and steep gradients.

The class IV K locomotives proved to be reliable and versatile machines. Despite their maintenance-intensive design, they remained in service for many years. From the 1960s onwards, some machines were extensively modernized and received new boilers. Nevertheless, the operational use of most IV K locomotives ended in 1975.

Detailed realization and high-quality workmanship

The model of the Bemo 1016836 steam locomotive 99 (54-60) sächs. IV K 176 impresses with its outstanding detailing and precise paintwork in the historical color scheme of the K.Sächs.Sts.E.B. The fine lettering, filigree lines and exact reproduction of the running gear make the locomotive a highlight on any H0e layout. The handcrafted construction in white metal and brass ensures a particularly high-quality look and feel.

Technical features and driving characteristics

The locomotive is equipped with a modern bell-type armature motor, which ensures extremely quiet and smooth running characteristics. Drive is provided via all driving and coupling axles, which ensures high tractive power. The current consumption across all axles also ensures a reliable power supply even on demanding narrow-gauge lines.

Scope of delivery and expansion options

In addition to the locomotive, the scope of delivery includes a set of couplings for individual assembly and detailed operating instructions. The locomotive can be ideally combined with other Bemo narrow gauge vehicles and can be used on all H0e track systems.

Why the Bemo 1016836 steam locomotive 99 (54-60) sächs. IV K 176 is a must for model railroad enthusiasts

This locomotive is perfect for model railroaders and collectors who are enthusiastic about the fascinating world of the Saxon narrow-gauge railroads. Thanks to its detailed realization, robust construction and excellent driving characteristics, it is a real highlight both for layout operation and for the display case.
