Description

Bemo 3022820 H0e Saxon passenger coach 970-320 wooden coach body, DR, Ep. III: A historical classic for your model railroad

The Bemo 3022820 H0e 970-320 passenger coach is a detailed reproduction of a Saxon bogie coach with a wooden coach body from Era III of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR). This model brings the historic charm of the narrow gauge railroads of Saxony to your model railroad layout.

The prototype: DR Saxon passenger cars in Era III

Between 1907 and 1911, the Royal Saxon State Railroad (K.Sächs.Sts.E.B.) put a total of 66 bogie cars of the 345 K - 346 K and 366 K - 429 K series into service. These cars had an overall length of 13,360 mm and a bogie spacing of 8,100 mm. The car body was designed as a boarded wooden construction, while the roof was designed without the skylights that were common at the time. They were originally delivered with the Heberlein brake, but were later often converted to the Körting brake.

These coaches were the first Saxon narrow-gauge passenger coaches to be equipped with toilets, which significantly increased travel comfort. From the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) began to modernize the first examples with sheet metal cladding. By 1972, most of these coaches had been taken out of service, with eight coaches being modernized in 1977. Some examples are still preserved today as museum cars, including the 970-318 in Schönheide, the 970-343 in Freital-Hainsberg and the 970-328 in Rittersgrün.
