Design & workmanship

The Ge 4/4 III 641 is presented in the authentic "Heidiland Express" design - neatly printed, with clear color separations and sharp lettering. The detailed roof section, the filigree fan grilles and the precisely executed engravings make the model extremely faithful to the original. The light changes by means of modern LEDs in white, matching the direction of travel, and ensures a harmonious overall appearance - whether stationary or on the move.

Technical features & special functions

The locomotive is equipped with a factory-fitted sound decoder that realistically reproduces typical operating sounds such as traction motors, whistle and other locomotive functions. It is controlled via standard digital systems, while the Next18 interface offers maximum flexibility for future adaptations. The LED top lighting ensures a harmonious driving experience, and the precise Bemo drive guarantees smooth running and reliable power consumption.

Historical background

The Ge 4/4 III 641 is part of a modern Rhaetian Railway locomotive series that was introduced in the 1990s. Its use was closely linked to the extension of the "Bernina Express": in 1995, the RhB put the "Heidiland Bernina Express" into operation - a summer connection from Landquart via Davos and Filisur to Tirano. The typical composition consisted of seven EW III and EW IV series coaches, which set new standards in Alpine tourist transport with their color concept and comfort.

Compatibility & expansion options

The locomotive can be ideally combined with matching RhB standard coaches, in particular with the red/dark brown express coaches of Era V. Thanks to a minimum radius of 360 mm, it is ideally suited for medium-sized to large H0 layouts. The in-house coupling holder ensures a secure connection with all Bemo vehicles on the same scale.
