Description

Introduction

With the Bemo 1362565 H0m electric locomotive "Matterhorn Story" HGe 4/4 5, MGB, Era VI, you can bring a real highlight of Swiss railroad history to your model railroad layout. This locomotive is not only a technical highlight, but also carries an emotional message: it commemorates the spectacular first ascent of the Matterhorn in July 1865, which established the tourist development of the region. On the occasion of the open-air festival on the Riffelberg - Europe's highest stage - the MGB's original HGe 4/4 3-5 was given an impressive special design. This design is faithfully reproduced on the model - a real eye-catcher with history!

Design & workmanship

The locomotive impresses with an authentic, striking design in the spirit of the "Matterhorn Story". The theme has been applied to the body with great graphic effort and makes the locomotive an experience even when stationary. The body is made of finely detailed plastic, while the heavy die-cast chassis ensures stability and smooth running. Brake hoses, heating couplings and handle bars for self-assembly are included for further individualization - a real added value for model builders who value attention to detail.

Technical features & special functions

This model comes as a fully equipped digital version with sound and offers you maximum driving comfort. The lighting system with direction-dependent LED headlights and white light change ensures a realistic representation during operation. Particularly practical: The locomotive can be converted to H0e - however, rack and pinion operation is then no longer required. The integration of the Next18 digital interface offers additional flexibility and makes the model future-proof in digital layout operation.

Historical background

The original HGe 4/4 5 comes from the former BVZ (Brig-Visp-Zermatt Railway) and is now part of the Matterhorn-Gotthard Railway (MGB) fleet. The locomotive was impressively designed for the new production of the open-air play "The Matterhorn Story" on the Riffelberg. This play commemorates the first ascent of the Matterhorn and celebrated its premiere in 2015. Ten years later, in 2025, it will be performed again - a cultural bridge between tourism history and modern railroad tradition.
