Model: HOm gauge DC. The last Uhk 2872 wagon built in 1948 that was still used as a fuel tank wagon (transport of jet fuel for Air Zermatt) was handed over by the MGB to the DFB in 2021. Initially, only the MGB address and the hazardous goods markings were removed. The car is currently being used by the DFB as a water transport car between Realp and Tiefenbach. Due to the drought, there is not enough water at the Tiefenbach station on certain days. The car is taken down the valley by diesel train and, after filling, is taken back to Tiefenbach by diesel train. The diesel train is preceded by the MGB HGm 4/4, which is rented to the DFB in the summer season. In addition to the passenger cars, it can also easily carry the loaded freight cars.
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.
