Description

Bemo 2296328 H0m Uhk P 900 BTA Tank Car, MOB, Era V: An authentic model for your collection

The Bemo 2296328 H0m Uhk P 900 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 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 900 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 markings but were not repainted, thereby 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.
