The Bemo 1017898 Steam locomotive VII K Öchsle 99 788 brings the impressive history of the Saxon narrow-gauge steam locomotives to the world of H0e model railroads. As a detailed finished model, this locomotive combines high-quality workmanship, state-of-the-art technology and an authentic look that makes it a highlight on any layout. With its classification in Era V (from 1990), this model represents one of the last uses of the famous VII K series, which is now operated as a museum and nostalgia locomotive on the Öchsle Railway in Baden-Württemberg. Discover why the Bemo 1017898 is a perfect choice for lovers of historic narrow gauge railroads!

The VII K is one of the best-known and most successful narrow-gauge steam locomotives in Germany. This class was introduced in 1918 as a further development of the Saxon narrow gauge locomotives. It proved its worth on the winding and steep routes of the Saxon narrow-gauge railroads with 750 mm track gauge. Locomotive 99 788 is a representative of this series and was later used on the Öchsle-Bahn, one of the most famous museum railroads in Germany.

The Öchsle Railway runs between Warthausen and Ochsenhausen in Baden-Württemberg and is now a living piece of railroad history. Locomotives such as the 99 788 are indispensable attractions for railroad enthusiasts and tourists. The locomotive has been carefully restored and represents the long tradition of the Saxon narrow-gauge railroads, which were preserved by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) until the museum era. The Bemo 1017898 model captures this historical significance in great detail and brings it to your H0e layout.

Era V (1990 to around 2006) is characterized by major changes in rail operations. While many steam locomotives in regular service were replaced by more modern types of traction, numerous historic locomotives were given a second life on museum and nostalgia railroads. Locomotive 99 788 is one of these preserved steam locomotives and is used on the Öchsle Railway for tourism and special trips. Era V is therefore particularly interesting for model railroaders, as it offers the opportunity to depict both modern operation and historic steam locomotive use.
