The story of Becker Modelle (BeMo)
BEMO Modelleisenbahnen began producing H0e narrow-gauge models in 1976, starting with vehicles based on Württemberg prototypes. The programme later grew to include rolling stock from Saxon narrow-gauge networks. In 1978, the company added models of the Rhätische Bahn, including the Ge 4/4 I electric locomotive and Einheitswagen I coaches, extending its range to Swiss metre-gauge subjects. These railway systems became central to BEMO’s expanding catalogue of narrow-gauge locomotives and rolling stock. Its steam locomotives are made in a mixed construction using brass and white-metal castings; premium versions include model-specific details, sound decoders and LED lighting. BEMO continues to present a catalogue organized around German and Swiss railway prototypes, including H0e, H0m and standard-gauge H0 models.
