This narrow gauge steam locomotive in H0e scale impresses with its detailed paintwork and printing as well as its high-quality metalwork. Equipped with a bell-shaped armature motor, which ensures excellent running characteristics, the model is digitally prepared and perfect for demanding model railroad layouts.

The prototype: The DR standard locomotives

The class 99 1777-4 belongs to the family of standard locomotives that were developed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn for use on narrow gauge lines. These locomotives were known for their reliable operation on difficult lines with many curves and gradients. Their robust design enabled them to withstand even the most demanding sections of track, making them one of the most important locomotive types on narrow-gauge railroads.

The history of the Saxon narrow-gauge railroads began as early as 1881, when the Royal Saxon State Railway (K.Sächs.Sts.E.B.) opened the first narrow-gauge railroads. The 750 mm line network was a technical masterpiece due to its topographical challenges. Many of the early locomotives, such as the II K or IV K, were maintenance-intensive due to their complicated engine designs. It was only with the VI K that it was possible to develop powerful and simply constructed locomotives that formed the backbone of operations. The class 99 1777-4 is one of the standard locomotives that was modernized by the DR and used up to Era IV.

Technical highlights and high-quality craftsmanship

The model of the Bemo 1017891 99 1777-4 standard locomotive is a genuine handcrafted metal model that is characterized by its high production quality. The fine paintwork and true-to-original printing make the model a real eye-catcher on any model railway layout. The built-in bell-shaped armature motor ensures exceptionally smooth running and power transmission so that the model can be operated without any problems even on demanding sections of track.

Realization and functionality true to the original

The 99 1777-4 standard locomotive from Era IV is an exact replica of its big sister, which was used on the DR narrow gauge lines in the 1970s. Despite its age, the locomotive was characterized by its reliability and performance, which made it one of the most important locomotives in the narrow-gauge sector. This model from Bemo perfectly captures the historic charm of the locomotive and brings a piece of railroad history to the model railway layout.
