The Bemo 1386126 H0m Xm 2/2 9916 tower railcar is an outstanding model that will make the hearts of model train enthusiasts beat faster. This precisely manufactured model is based on the historic tower railcar of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) and impresses with its attention to detail and technical sophistication. With authentic sound and numerous functions, it brings the atmosphere of the Swiss narrow-gauge railroads of eras IV and V directly to your model railway layout.
In 1963, the Rhaetian Railway put the Xm 2/2 9916 tower railcar into service, specially designed for catenary service on the Bernina line. The vehicle is largely based on the design of the Tm 2/2 56-67 (later 15-26) shunting tractors and can also be used on the main network and the Arosa line. Originally painted in oxide red, the tower railcar underwent several color changes: Between 1988 and 1997, it was given an orange livery before finally adopting its current yellow appearance. The vehicle was extensively modernized in 1997 and 2002, with the working platform in particular being adapted to meet current occupational safety requirements.
The Rhaetian Railway, founded in 1888, is one of the best-known narrow-gauge railroads in Switzerland. It operates a route network of over 380 kilometers, connecting picturesque landscapes, historic towns and impressive Alpine passes. The RhB is renowned for its engineering skills and its ability to overcome demanding topographical challenges. Its trains, including the famous Glacier Express and the Bernina Express, attract numerous tourists every year and are an important part of Switzerland's cultural heritage.
The company Bemo Modelleisenbahnen GmbH & Co. KG, based in Uhingen, Germany, specializes in the manufacture of high-quality narrow-gauge model railroads. Since its foundation, Bemo has earned an excellent reputation for detailed and technically sophisticated models. With a combination of traditional craftsmanship and state-of-the-art production technology, Bemo sets standards in the model railroad sector and inspires collectors and model railroaders worldwide.
Railroad eras IV and V mark a phase of transition and modernization in the European railroad system. Era IV (approx. 1970-1990) was characterized by the introduction of new vehicle types, the changeover to modern colour schemes and the rationalization of operations. In Era V (approx. 1990-2006), the focus was on further modernization, the privatization of railroad companies and the introduction of new safety standards. The Xm 2/2 9916 tower railcar reflects this change with its colour changes and modernizations.
The Bemo 1386126 tower railcar has a number of impressive technical features. The construction is based on high-quality materials such as white metal and brass, resulting in exceptional attention to detail. The rotating and extendable working platform with movable railings allows realistic use and representation on the model railway layout. Etched parts used in the roof superstructure ensure a filigree look.
Drive is via both axles, ensuring reliable power consumption and smooth running. The bell-type armature motor ensures smooth running and sensitive control, especially at low speeds. The model is equipped with a sound decoder that provides a realistic sound experience. The LED headlights with the 3+1 arrangement in white ensure a prototypical light display.
The length over buffers is 77.3 mm, making the model compact yet impressively detailed. Thanks to a passable minimum radius of 330 mm, the tower railcar is ideal for use on H0m layouts. The in-house coupling system enables problem-free integration into existing model railway environments. The model is designed for the 2-wire direct current system (DC) and is equipped with a Next18 interface for digital control systems.
The model corresponds to the current yellow colour scheme of the original, which has been used since the last modernization. This eye-catching paintwork gives the model an authentic look and makes it highly recognizable. The detailed reproduction of the RhB lettering and logos underlines the high quality of this model.
