Capricorn 3113 “Calanda”
The four-car RhB record train appears again in H0m. The model family includes interior lighting, numerous LED light functions and Next18.
Capricorn record train, Rhaetian Crocodile, Xm 2/2 tower railcar, Rügensche BäderBahn, Württemberg Class VI K, historic state-railway coaches and new container and ballast wagons: BEMO combines modern Swiss metre gauge with classic German narrow-gauge railways in the 2025 model year.
The BEMO News 2025 in H0m, H0e, H0 and 0m clearly demonstrates what the manufacturer stands for: specialised narrow-gauge models, Swiss railways, high-quality small-series models and vehicles designed not merely for collecting but for complete trains and operating scenes.
The Rhaetian Railway forms one of the central themes, alongside German 750 and 760 mm narrow-gauge subjects. At the same time, BEMO opens the familiar RhB Capricorn theme to standard H0 layouts through special standard-gauge model variants and continues to expand its large 0m range. The 2025 programme is therefore considerably broader than a pure H0m Switzerland page would suggest.
The programme contains genuine new developments, tooling modifications and technically revised classics. The Xm 2/2 9916 is produced as a Metal Collection hand-built model. The internal technology of the Rhaetian Crocodile is modernised. Bernina railcars receive LED lighting, Next18 and, in the digital version, sound. In 0m, wagon tooling is revised for further prototypical variants.
The programme also covers a broad historical range. Modern RhB Era VI stands alongside Ge 6/6 I locomotives, Bernina nostalgia and freight trains from the 1970s and 1980s. H0e ranges from Württemberg and Saxon state-railway subjects through DR and DB operation to the modern Rügensche BäderBahn.
The product finder does not blindly reproduce every originally announced product. Each current English product page is checked again for an explicit 2025 new-product designation and for archive notices before a card is rendered.
The four-car RhB record train appears again in H0m. The model family includes interior lighting, numerous LED light functions and Next18.
The overhead-line tower railcar is an important Metal Collection development. A rotating and extendable work platform, movable railings, LED headlights and Next18 make it an exceptional departmental vehicle.
BEMO modernises the internal technology of the iconic locomotive. LED lighting, Next18 and sound in the digital version bring the Ge 6/6 I family technically up to date without changing its historic character.
Historic ABe 4/4 railcars receive revised electronics, LED lighting and modern decoder interfaces. Digital versions add sound.
The former V51 901 appears in the red DB-lettered condition. Together with green-and-beige modernisation coaches, it forms a complete Rügen narrow-gauge train in H0e.
Württemberg five-coupled steam locomotives appear as high-quality Metal Collection models with digital sound equipment and detailed lighting functions.
The Klose locomotive returns as a kit and finished model. Matching state-railway coaches and wagons allow a short mixed passenger and freight train to be formed.
Container wagons and Fd self-unloading wagons extend the large RhB model world. Even short ballast block trains provide an impressive 1:45 freight theme.
The Rhaetian Railway remains at the heart of BEMO's range. Modern advertising locomotives, classic green locomotives, Crocodiles, Capricorn multiple units and freight wagons provide a particularly broad selection of train themes.
ABe 4/16 3113 “Calanda” represents one of the most modern Rhaetian Railway multiple units. The current H0m sound model consists of four cars and offers numerous LED light functions, factory-fitted interior lighting, Next18 interfaces and digital sound. The prototype attracted international attention with the RhB record run.
BEMO also adds high-capacity freight wagons, tank wagons, sliding-wall wagons, gravel wagons, covered freight wagons and container vehicles. This makes it possible to represent credible working and freight traffic alongside the more familiar Swiss tourist-train themes.
Diesel locomotive 251 901 and green-and-beige modernisation coaches form current RüBB trains of the famous “Rasender Roland”.
Class VI K locomotives represent later operation, while Tss 4 and suitable K.W.St.E. rolling stock reach back into the state-railway era.
Scale-length narrow-gauge bogie coaches provide suitable rolling stock for historic Saxon railway operation in H0e.
Additional running numbers and heritage variants allow the same basic coach families to represent different operating periods and preserved railways.
| Gauge | Scale / Model Track | 2025 Focus | Typical Models |
|---|---|---|---|
| H0m | 1:87 · 12 mm | Swiss metre gauge | Capricorn, Ge 4/4, Ge 6/6 I, Xm 2/2 and RhB rolling stock |
| H0e | 1:87 · 9 mm | 750 and 760 mm narrow gauge | RüBB, Class VI K, Tss 4 and Saxon coaches |
| H0 | 1:87 · 16.5 mm | selected standard-gauge versions | selected Swiss-themed vehicles for standard H0 track |
| 0m | 1:45 · 22.5 mm metre-gauge representation | RhB FineScale | container wagons and Fd self-unloading wagons |
H0 uses 16.5 mm track, H0m uses 12 mm and H0e uses 9 mm. A vehicle therefore does not automatically run on another system simply because the body scale is identical.
The original brochure documents H0m, H0e, H0 and 0m, including catalogue numbers, new tooling, tooling modifications, Metal Collection models and intended train formations.

BEMO is one of the best-known specialists for narrow-gauge model railways. Its core range combines Swiss metre-gauge railways with German and Austrian narrow-gauge subjects. Selected standard H0 models, 0m FineScale rolling stock, track, spare parts and high-quality Metal Collection hand-built models complete the range.
The product finder searches current English BEMO categories for electric locomotives, diesel locomotives, steam locomotives, railcars, passenger coaches and freight wagons. Multi-page category results can be loaded automatically. Before display, each individual English product page is checked again for the manufacturer, gauge, new-product year, archive status and a suitable shop image.

A suitable RhB electric locomotive with matching EW IV coaches forms a classic modern Rhaetian Railway panorama train.
A Ge 6/6 I, green passenger coach and suitable covered or gravel wagons create a convincing mixed passenger and freight train.
251 901 with green-and-beige RüBB modernisation coaches forms an immediately recognisable “Rasender Roland” train.
Tss 4 with baggage, passenger and freight wagons of the K.W.St.E. allows a short mixed train to be represented in a small area.
Xm 2/2 9916 suits overhead-line work sites, maintenance sidings and technical operating scenes away from conventional passenger trains.
Several Fd self-unloading wagons already form an impressive short block train for large-scale RhB freight operation.
The programme covers H0m, H0e, selected standard-gauge H0 models and 0m. H0m and H0e form the traditional narrow-gauge focus.
RhB tower railcar Xm 2/2 9916 is one of the particularly distinctive developments and appears as a high-quality Metal Collection hand-built model.
ABe 4/16 3113 “Calanda” remains an important H0m Capricorn model with interior lighting, numerous LED functions, Next18 and sound in the digital version.
BEMO revised the internal technology of Ge 6/6 I. LED lighting and Next18 were added, and digital versions are available with sound.
Important Rügen subjects include diesel locomotive 251 901 and several green-and-beige modernisation coaches.
Important subjects include Class VI K 99 651 and 99 716 as well as Tss 4 with matching K.W.St.E. passenger, baggage and freight wagons.
H0m uses 1:87 scale and 12 mm model track. It is primarily used for metre-gauge prototypes such as the Rhaetian Railway, MGB and MOB.
Both use 1:87 scale. H0m runs on 12 mm track, while H0e uses 9 mm track. The two systems are therefore not directly interchangeable.
Selected models can be offered with running gear intended for 16.5 mm standard H0 track. The exact catalogue number and gauge designation must therefore always be checked before purchase.
The programme includes RhB container wagons with different containers as well as Fd self-unloading wagons for ballast traffic.
