This new 2026 model is impressive with digital sound, precise add-on parts and a striking prototype from Austria.

From Yugoslavia to Styria - an eventful locomotive biography

The original locomotive of the VL 22 was built in 1968 as part of the 740 series by Duro Dakovic for the Yugoslavian state railroad. In the 1980s, the StLB took over two of these locomotives for use on the Thörlerbahn and Feistritztalbahn. The VL 22 was modernized several times, received a more powerful MTU engine and in 1995 the new StLB design in red. After the end of freight traffic on the Feistritztalbahn, it was used in the Mur Valley - for work trains and occasional transportation.

Model condition until 2023 - before the next conversion

The Bemo model shows the locomotive in its condition up to approx. 2023 - i.e. without the switch box and fire extinguisher box installed later on the short front end. This makes this model ideal for Era V-VI train formations in regional traffic and industrial use.
