Bemo 3544101 H0 Standard Car IV "Bernina Express" B 2491, RhB, Era V, AC

Introduction

The Bemo 3544101 H0 Standard Car IV “Bernina Express” B 2491 of the RhB, Era V is an authentic model of a classic passenger car, as used beginning in 1993 on the spectacular routes of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB). As part of the famous “Bernina Express,” this car comfortably transported passengers through the Alps—from Landquart via Davos and Filisur to Tirano, Italy. This highlight is now available as an AC version for Märklin-compatible layouts.

Design & Workmanship

The B 2491 impresses with its precise and true-to-original paint scheme in the RhB’s distinctive red with white “Bernina Express” lettering. Exquisite printing, realistic window frames, and the harmonious roof design lend the car the highest level of authenticity. Its length over the buffers of 188.3 mm makes it the ideal companion for typical formations of the Standard Car IV.

Historical Background

In 1992–93, the RhB procured a series of modern passenger cars—the Standard Cars IV (A 1273–1275, B 2491–2497, and BD 2475) to upgrade heavily traveled tourist trains such as the “Bernina Express.” The B 2491 served as a 2nd-class seating car and regularly operated in the second train set, which ran from 1995 onward along the impressive Alpine route between Landquart and Tirano.

Compatibility & Expansion Options

This model is designed for 3-wire AC systems and can be perfectly combined with other Series IV standard cars as well as compatible RhB locomotives. The minimum curve radius of 360 mm allows for use on medium-sized to large layouts. The in-house coupler mount ensures reliable connections even in tight curves.

What’s Included

The fully assembled IV B 2491 standard car is delivered in the classic “Bernina Express” design, ready for operation on AC layouts without digital functions.

Selling Points & Target Audience

The Bemo 3544101 B 2491 is aimed at model railroaders with a Märklin system who seek a prototypical representation of the Rhaetian Railway. Whether as part of a complete train or as a single car with alpine flair—this model is a highlight for collectors and Alpine enthusiasts alike.
