The prototype: The RhB ABe 4/16 3113 Capricorn

The "Capricorn" is the draft horse of the modern Rhaetian Railway and a symbol of technological advancement in Alpine rail transport. On October 29, 2022, the ABe 4/16 3113 multiple unit set a record for narrow-gauge lines by reaching a speed of 163.02 km/h in the Albula Tunnel. This milestone illustrates the high performance and efficiency of the new RhB multiple units, which are used for both local and long-distance services. The "Calanda" train is one of a series of state-of-the-art Capricorn multiple units that are making a lasting impression on RhB rail transport.

Rhaetian Railway (RhB): A pioneer of modern narrow-gauge rail transport

The Rhaetian Railway is known for its rich history, combined with a progressive focus on modern technologies. As the operator of one of the most famous narrow-gauge lines in Europe, including the Bernina and Albula lines, the RhB regularly sets new standards. The introduction of the Capricorn multiple units is a further step towards efficiency and modernization of Alpine rail transport.

Bemo: Scale model railroad technology with precision

The Swiss manufacturer Bemo has made a name for itself worldwide for its precise and high-quality model railroads. Bemo offers authentic replicas of RhB vehicles, particularly in the narrow-gauge model range. With the development of the Capricorn multiple unit in H0 standard gauge, Bemo underlines its innovative strength. The faithful reproduction of the technical details and the extensive range of functions make this multiple unit a real eye-catcher on any layout.

Era VI: The current modernity on the model railroad

Era VI covers the period from 2007 onwards and reflects modern train operation. In this era, modern trains, digital controls and new design features such as LED lighting are standard. The Bemo 7445103 Capricorn is a typical example of this era and is characterized by the combination of modern design, energy-efficient technology and powerful digital equipment.

Technical details of the Bemo 7445103 H0 Capricorn "Calanda" multiple unit

The four-car multiple unit consists of a motor car, a control car and two center cars. All of the cars have interior lighting and numerous LED light functions. The electric close couplers between the individual cars ensure reliable operation and a realistic appearance. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 880 mm, the multiple unit fits harmoniously into H0 model railroad layouts. The model is designed for a minimum radius of 360 mm, which also allows for tighter curves.

The heart of the model is the sound decoder in the railcar, which provides an authentic sound experience. The control car is also equipped with a function decoder to enable additional lighting and control options. The Next18 digital interface (NEM 662) ensures simple integration into digital model railroad systems. The light changes between red and white LEDs in line with the prototype, which supports the realistic reproduction of train operation.

Color scheme and design: Modern elegance on the rails

The multiple unit is presented in the typical RhB colour scheme, which is characterized by its modern red and white accents. This color combination ensures a contemporary and elegant appearance. The model shows all the relevant lettering, logos and details of the prototype, which contributes to a high degree of authenticity. The window frames, doors and roof area are precisely designed to replicate the original as accurately as possible.

Quality and workmanship at the highest level

Bemo attaches great importance to quality and durability when developing its models. The Capricorn multiple unit is made of high-quality materials that are both visually and functionally impressive. The electrical connections between the carriages are robust and guarantee trouble-free operation. Thanks to LED technology, the lighting is not only energy-efficient but also low-maintenance.

Compatibility and expansion options

The multiple unit is equipped with Bemo's own coupling system, which ensures a safe and reliable connection between the carriages. The Next18 digital interface enables easy expansion and adaptation to various digital control systems. Additional interior fittings with figures or an extension of the functions via the digital system are also possible without any problems.
