The Diesellok Faur SOEG L45H BR199 018 is a model representation of the diesel-hydraulic Faur L45H locomotive, widely used across Eastern Europe and renowned for its robustness and versatility. Produced between 1967 and 1985 by FAUR, a vehicle and machinery manufacturer based in Bucharest, Romania, this narrow-gauge locomotive became a vital asset for industrial, railway, and service applications. Boasting a power output of 450 horsepower and measuring 10.25 meters in length, these locomotives served on track gauges of 750-1000 mm, proving adaptable for various applications. Today, the Faur L45H remains in use in Romania, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and even Germany, Austria, and Corsica, where some units have been repowered.
The Faur L45H series locomotives were initially designed to meet the demands of Eastern European narrow-gauge networks. They became essential for industrial and workshop railways, especially in Romania (Series 87), Poland (Lxd2), Hungary (Mk45), and several other countries. Over the years, the L45H units have proven their adaptability and resilience, with a number of these locomotives joining the fleet of the Sächsische Dampfeisenbahn Gesellschaft mbH (SDG) in Germany, the Ybbstalbahn-Bergstrecke operated by the ÖGLB in Austria, and even on the Mediterranean island of Corsica. The Faur L45H’s success is a testament to its durability and adaptability across diverse regions and applications.
This model from Bemo captures the authentic design of the Faur L45H BR199 018, crafted with high attention to detail and robust materials. The die-cast chassis enhances stability and durability, while the model’s precise detailing reflects the distinct features of the prototype locomotive. Designed for smooth operation, this model is built with a reliable five-pole motor and receives power and traction through all four axles, ensuring excellent performance even on complex track layouts. Additionally, the model features separately applied grab handles, wind deflectors, windshield wipers, etched steps, and a fan cover, adding realism to every viewing angle.
One of the standout features of the Faur SOEG L45H model is its convertible design. By removing the bogie frames and inserting 1.5 mm spacer pieces (included with optional wheel sets, Article No. 5220 000), the model can be adapted from its default H0e (750 mm gauge) configuration to H0m (1000 mm gauge). This versatility allows model railway enthusiasts to operate the locomotive on different narrow-gauge track systems, making it an adaptable addition to any setup. For operation on H0m tracks, sand pipes should be removed to ensure smooth movement.
The Faur L45H BR199 018 model is equipped with LED directional lighting that adjusts according to the locomotive’s movement. The light signals add an extra layer of realism, making it suitable for both day and night scenarios on model railway layouts. Additionally, this model is sound-ready with an 18-pin NEXT18 interface, allowing users to add digital sound for an immersive railway experience. Whether you are replicating a bustling industrial site or a quiet rural railway, the sound-ready feature elevates the authenticity of this model.
To access the locomotive’s cab and body, users can easily remove the coupling mounts by pushing them outward from the inside with a suitable screwdriver. This design simplifies maintenance and replacement of internal components. Additionally, if there’s a need to remove the running frames, users must first detach the light guides to avoid damage to the directional LED lights. These design considerations make the model both user-friendly and durable for long-term enjoyment.
The Diesellok Faur SOEG L45H BR199 018 Ep. V is a stunning addition to any H0 narrow-gauge collection, especially for enthusiasts of Eastern European and industrial railways. With its historical significance, detailed craftsmanship, and advanced technical features, this model offers both visual appeal and operational functionality. Its ability to adapt between H0e and H0m gauges, combined with the options for sound and lighting, makes it a unique and versatile model suitable for a variety of model railway settings.
