Introduction

The Bemo 1259344 H0m electric locomotive "Swisstainable" Ge 4/4 8004 of the MOB, Era VI brings modern environmental awareness to your model railroad layout. The Montreux-Berner Oberland Railway (MOB) is using this locomotive to promote the "Swisstainable" sustainability program of Switzerland Tourism. It is part of the exclusive trio of locomotives used for the prestigious GoldenPass Express (GPX) - a connection from Montreux to Interlaken that combines tradition and modernity.

Design & workmanship

The Ge 4/4 8004 was fitted with an eye-catching advertising film in the "Swisstainable" design, making it a real eye-catcher. The Bemo model implements this design with great precision: Clear lines, bright colors and razor-sharp printing ensure a realistic look. The body is finely detailed, the roof section including pantograph is delicately reproduced. The LED lighting with white light change rounds off the appearance harmoniously.

Technical features & special functions

The model has an analogue design, but is equipped with a Next18 interface in accordance with NEM 662, which enables uncomplicated digitization. The LED lighting switches depending on the direction of travel and thus ensures an authentic operating atmosphere. The tried and tested running gear from Bemo with smooth running characteristics and precise current consumption also makes this locomotive a reliable traction unit for daily use on the H0m layout.

Historical background

The MOB operates modern, powerful narrow gauge electric locomotives with the Ge 4/4 8001-8004. With the launch of the GoldenPass Express, each of the three locomotives 8001, 8002 and 8004 was given its own livery. Since the summer, locomotive 8004 has been promoting "Swisstainable" - a program that promotes sustainable tourism in Switzerland. The model thus combines environmental awareness with exclusive rail comfort on one of the most beautiful panoramic routes in Europe.

Compatibility & expansion options

The locomotive is ideal for use with passenger coaches of the GoldenPass Express or other MOB vehicles. Thanks to the minimum radius of 330 mm, it is also suitable for smaller H0m layouts. The in-house coupler pocket allows easy integration into existing train formations.
