Model: HO gauge DC. In the course of the Disability Equality Act, MOB 2010/11 procured a total of eight low-floor car bodies from Raility, Biel, which run on Alstom bogies and whose interior was fitted out in the railway's own workshop in Chernex. The carriages designated as Bs 231-238 with a central pivoting sliding door in the low-floor area with a toilet suitable for the disabled are now part of many train compositions. During their more than 10 years of service, they were given different colors.
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.
