Bemo 1016868 Narrow gauge steam locomotive 99 568 DR sächs. IV K: A piece of railroad history in Era III

The Bemo 1016868 narrow gauge steam locomotive 99 568 is a masterful model that impressively brings to life the fascinating history of the Saxon narrow gauge railroads. This locomotive, which belongs to the famous class IV K, was operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) in Era III and represents the golden era of narrow-gauge railroads. With its outstanding workmanship, handcrafted quality and a powerful bell-type armature motor, this model is an absolute highlight for lovers of narrow-gauge layouts and historic railroad technology. Discover the details and special features of this extraordinary model!

The class IV K was developed by the Royal Saxon State Railroad (K.Sä.Sts.B.) from 1892 and was one of the most successful narrow-gauge steam locomotives of its time. The locomotives were specially developed for the demanding and winding narrow-gauge lines in Saxony, which often had steep gradients and tight radii. The 99 568, a representative of this series, was a prime example of engineering skill and performance in narrow-gauge operation. With its articulated design based on the Meyer system, the IV K was particularly maneuverable and powerful, which predestined it for use on the 750 mm narrow-gauge lines.

The Saxon narrow-gauge railroads were built by the Royal Saxon State Railway from 1881 onwards in order to better connect rural regions and make freight and passenger transport more efficient. A total of 30 narrow-gauge railroads with a total length of 561 kilometers were built, which were characterized by their 750 mm gauge. These lines were known for their challenging gradients and tight curve radii, which made it necessary to build powerful and maneuverable locomotives. The IV K became the most important class for these railroads and contributed significantly to the success story of the narrow-gauge railroads in Saxony.

In Era III (1949-1970), the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the operation of the Saxon narrow-gauge railroads and carried out modernizations in order to increase efficiency and secure operations in the long term. The IV K continued to be an indispensable workhorse that was used for both passenger and freight transport. At the same time, many of these locomotives were fitted with new boilers from the 1960s onwards in order to counteract signs of wear and tear and reduce operating costs. The Bemo 1016868 faithfully reproduces this important era and the role of the IV K in it.

The Bemo 1016868 is not only visually impressive, but also technically. Here are the outstanding features of this model:

• H0e gauge: the model is designed for narrow gauge on a scale of 1:87 with a track gauge of 9 mm and is ideal for H0e layouts.
• Bell-type armaturemotor: The powerful bell-type armature motor with flywheel mass ensures quiet and smooth running characteristics.
• Gearbox in plastic technology: The precise plastic gearbox ensures efficient power transmission and increases durability.
• Minimum radius: With a minimum radius of just 280 mm, the model is also suitable for smaller installations and tight bends.
• Drive: Drive and power consumption are via all drive and coupling axles, which ensures excellent traction.
• Handcrafted: The white metal and brass construction was handcrafted in small series and guarantees maximum attention to detail.
• Easy to assemble: Couplers are included for assembly, allowing flexible use on your layout.

The model is designed for the H0e gauge (9 mm track width on a scale of 1:87), which was specially developed for narrow-gauge layouts. This gauge makes it possible to realistically reproduce the unique routes and vehicles of narrow-gauge railroads. With the Bemo 1016868 you can create authentic scenarios on your model railway layout and experience the special atmosphere of the Saxon narrow-gauge railroads.

The Bemo 1016868 narrow gauge steam locomotive impresses with an accurate replica of the original. The black paintwork of the locomotive is complemented by delicate red accents on the frame and wheels, which was typical for the vehicles of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. The lettering is neatly applied and reflects the historical model. Every detail, from the linkage to the finely crafted boiler fittings, has been manufactured with the utmost precision.

The Bemo 1016868 was handcrafted in small series from high-quality materials such as white metal and brass. These materials not only guarantee a robust construction, but also exceptional attention to detail. The precise production and manual assembly make each model unique and meet the highest standards.
