Description

Bemo 3022822 H0e Saxon passenger coach 970-342 wooden coach body, DR, Ep. III: An authentic model for your narrow gauge layout

The Bemo 3022822 H0e 970-342 passenger car is a detailed reproduction of a Saxon bogie car with a wooden car body from Era III of the German State Railroad (DR). This model allows model railroad enthusiasts to authentically depict the atmosphere of the historic narrow-gauge railroads of Saxony on their layouts.

The prototype: Saxon bogie cars of the K.Sächs.Sts.E.B.

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 without the usual skylights of the time. Originally equipped with Heberlein brakes, many were later converted to Körting brakes. They were the first Saxon passenger coaches to have toilets, which significantly increased travel comfort. In the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) began to modernize some of these carriages with sheet metal cladding. Most of them were decommissioned between 1967 and 1972, but some were preserved and can be seen in museums today.
