Description

Bemo 1017806 DR 099 749-4 Steam locomotive Era V: High-quality narrow gauge ready-built model

The Bemo 1017806 DR 099 749-4 is a detailed finished model of a narrow gauge steam locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era V. This model in H0e scale is equipped with a bell-type armature motor that ensures outstanding running characteristics. The 099 749-4 locomotive is a standard steam locomotive that was in service until the 1990s after extensive modernization. With a length over buffers (LLP) of 121.2 mm, the model is ideal for operation on narrow gauge lines.

The prototype: The DR standard steam locomotives

The history of narrow-gauge railroads in Saxony began in 1881 with the Royal Saxon State Railroad(K.Sächs.Sts.B.), which built a total of 561 km of narrow-gauge lines with a track gauge of 750 mm. These lines, which ran through winding and steep terrain, placed special demands on the locomotive builders. The early locomotives such as the II K, III K and IV K were often maintenance-intensive. It was not until the VI K, which was built for the army field railroads from 1918, that simpler engine designs and laterally displaceable wheelsets based on the Gölsdorf system brought about a significant improvement.

The class 99 standard locomotives, such as the 099 749-4, were modernized by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) after the Second World War. From 1963, many locomotives were fitted with new boilers in order to extend their service life. Even though the VI K was taken out of service in 1975 due to its high axle loads, the standard locomotives such as the 099 749-4 dominated operation on the DR narrow gauge lines.
