Description

Introduction

The Bemo 3644109 H0 Standard Car IV “Bernina Express” A 1275 of the RhB, Era V is an authentically designed model of a first-class car that was used in long-distance and tourist service on the Rhaetian Railway starting in 1993. Designed specifically for 2-wire direct current (DC) systems, this car allows you to build prototypical train sets of the legendary “Bernina Express” in H0 scale.

Design & Workmanship

The car impresses with its striking red color scheme and the classic “Bernina Express” lettering. Fine engravings, realistic window frames, a detailed roof design, and a length over the buffers of 188.3 mm create a harmonious overall appearance. The high-quality printing and true-to-scale design reflect Bemo’s proven quality.

Historical Background

In 1992–93, the RhB introduced the “Einheitswagen IV” to further enhance its popular long-distance routes, such as the “Bernina Express”. The A 1275 was one of only three first-class cars in this series and was used on the Landquart–Davos–Filisur–Tirano route. In combination with the Einheitswagen III, this resulted in complete, comfort-oriented train formations designed to meet the growing demands of Alpine tourist traffic in Era V.

Compatibility & Expansion Options

The model is ideal for all H0 model railroad layouts with a 2-wire DC system. It combines excellently with other Unit Cars IV and EW III as well as RhB locomotives—such as the Ge 4/4 II or Ge 4/4 III. The car is designed for a minimum curve radius of 360 mm and features an proprietary coupler mount for reliable connections within a train set.

What’s Included

The package includes the fully assembled Unit Car IV A 1275 in the “Bernina Express” design, ready for use in analog operation on 2L DC layouts.

Reasons to Buy & Target Audience
