Description

Bemo 2296114 H0m Tank Car P 10004, RhB, Era IV: Authenticity for Your Model Railroad Layout

The Bemo 2296114 H0m Tank Car P 10004 is a highly detailed replica of a tank car from the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) from Era IV. This model allows model railroad enthusiasts to authentically recreate the historic atmosphere of Switzerland’s narrow-gauge railroads from the 1970s and 1980s on their layouts.

The Prototype: RhB tank cars in Era IV

In the 1970s and 1980s, the Rhaetian Railway used tank cars such as the P 10004 to transport liquids such as oil, gasoline, and chemicals. These cars were essential for supplying remote regions and were characterized by their robust construction and special safety features that ensured the safe transport of hazardous materials. A characteristic feature of the tank cars from this era was that they were equipped with only one address plate per side of the car and showed slight signs of rust and weathering, reflecting their daily use.
