Description

Bemo 2296320 H0m Uhk P 890 BTA Tank Car, MOB, Era V: Authenticity for Your Model Railroad Layout

The Bemo 2296320 H0m Uhk P 890 BTA Tank Car is a highly detailed replica of a tank car from the Montreux-Berner Oberland Railway (MOB) from Era V. This model allows model railroad enthusiasts to authentically recreate the historic atmosphere of Swiss narrow-gauge railroads from the late 1990s and early 2000s on their layouts.

The Prototype: MOB tank cars in Era V

In Era V, the Montreux-Berner Oberland Railway (MOB) acquired several tank cars from the Rhaetian Railway (RhB), including the Uhk P 890 BTA. These cars were used to transport liquids such as heating oil, gasoline, and other chemicals. A characteristic feature of these acquired vehicles was that they were merely given new lettering but were not repainted, thus preserving the original paintwork with slight signs of weathering. Each side of the car was fitted with a nameplate indicating its affiliation with the MOB.
