Model: HO Gauge AC. Electric locomotive Ge 4/4 III 644 Alpine Cruise of the Rhaetian Railway, in "world record attempt" livery. Ready-to-run model with die-cast chassis, 5-pole motor; drive and power consumption via all four axles. Brake hoses, heating couplings and handlebars are included for self-assembly.
Prototype: On Saturday, 29 October 2022, the Rhaetian Railway will make an official attempt to run the world's longest passenger train over the UNESCO World Heritage Albula Railway. With this world record attempt, the RhB and its partners want to make their contribution to the 175th anniversary of Swiss Railways and realise a pioneering feat that has never been seen before. The world record attempt is supported by companies from Switzerland and Germany, all leading competence partners from technology, industry, services, the model railway industry, tourism and the media.
The Bemo company has been manufacturing railroad models in large-scale plastic technology in Uhingen (Baden-Württemberg) since 1976. 25 employees mainly produce models in the scales 1:87 and 1:45, but in the meantime there are also some 1:160 models in the program. The H0 models are mainly narrow gauge models in H0e and H0m based on models of Swiss, Austrian and German railroads. The gauge 0 models are offered without exception as 0m, i.e. as meter gauge models, after prototypes of the Rhaetian Railway. Also in H0, besides many models of diesel railcars, many different cars of the Rhaetian Railway are offered, so that the normal H0 model railroader can look forward to beautiful trains from the Swiss Alps. In N gauge, you can currently find models of the RegioShuttle from ADtranz/Stadler in the Bemo program.
In the development and production, great emphasis is placed on uncompromising replication, also, if possible, entire train sets are offered. Narrow gauge track systems in H0e and H0m as well as a track system in 0m complete the Bemo range.
