Description

Introduction

The Bemo 2688108 H0 sliding-wall car “Märklin” Haik-v 5130 of the RhB, Era VI is a special model that uniquely bridges the worlds of real railroads and model railroads. In the spring of 2025, Märklin added eye-catching advertising decals to this sliding-wall car, featuring the various gauges—H0, 1, and Z—on one side of the car and the brands LGB, Trix, and Minitrix on the other. The result is a rolling symbol of the diversity of the model railroading hobby—now available as a highly detailed DC model for H0 layouts.

Design & Workmanship

The high-quality printing on the car accurately reflects the creative design of the prototype. The vivid colors and crisp logos of the well-known brands make the car a real eye-catcher on any layout. The styling, engravings, and proportions correspond exactly to the original Haik-v type of the Rhaetian Railway. With a length over the buffers of 169 mm, the car integrates harmoniously into modern Era VI freight trains.

Historical Background

The Haik-v series 5121–5135 sliding-door cars are used in a variety of ways in the Rhaetian Railway’s freight operations—from transporting timber to handling sensitive general cargo. Märklin’s design of car 5130 resulted in a rolling advertising model that symbolizes the close connection between the original and the model railroad. The use of this car demonstrates that model railroading is not just a toy, but a living railway culture.

Compatibility & Expansion Options

This model is designed for 2-wire direct current (DC) layouts and, thanks to its minimum curve radius of 360 mm, is also suitable for medium-sized and large layouts. The proprietary coupler mount ensures reliable connections with other Bemo vehicles. It combines perfectly with RhB freight cars or modern locomotives in meter-gauge design.

What’s Included

Included in the package is the fully assembled Haik-v 5130 sliding-wall freight car with Märklin advertising, ready for analog DC operation without digital functions.

Selling Points & Target Audience

The Bemo 2688108 Haik-v 5130 is aimed at model railroading enthusiasts with an eye for unusual cars, Märklin fans who also run DC models, and collectors who appreciate models with contemporary relevance and original designs. As a rolling promotional model with a dual connection to the world of railroads, it is equally suitable for operation on the track as it is for display in a showcase.
