Design & workmanship

The black color scheme corresponds to the original DRG in the early operating period and underlines the historical character of the model.

Technical features & special functions

A quiet bell-type armature motor ensures excellent running characteristics on the narrow gauge line. Although there is no standardized interface, the model can be subsequently digitized thanks to a solder connection. The in-house coupling holder guarantees compatibility with other Bemo vehicles and ensures safe operation.

Historical background

The Saxon IV K was the most frequently built narrow-gauge locomotive in Saxony and was put into service from 1892. It was used on numerous lines in the Erzgebirge and Vogtland. After the transition to the DRG, it was given the new number 99 579. The third design - as in this model - was characterized by a revised driver's cab with a barrel roof and improved ventilation.

Compatibility & expansion options

Ideal for H0e track systems, the locomotive can be combined with typical DRG or Saxon narrow gauge cars. Whether passenger cars, open freight cars or typical station scenes - this model can be used to recreate an authentic Era I or II layout. Retrofitting for digital control is possible using a solder connection.
