History, gauges and product areas

BEMO: A Specialist in Narrow-Gauge Model Railways

BEMO has been known for detailed narrow-gauge models since 1976. The range includes vehicles from the Rhaetian Railway, Matterhorn Gotthard Railway, Glacier Express, Bernina Express and GoldenPass, together with German and Austrian narrow-gauge subjects.

The main programme operates in H0m on 12-mm track and H0e on 9-mm track. Selected standard-gauge H0 models and finely detailed 0m models are also available.

Scale alone does not determine compatibility. H0, H0m and H0e require different track, points and curve radii. Always check the exact gauge, current-collection system, digital interface and minimum radius on the individual product page.
