Trix 22640 H0 Electric Locomotive 140 800-4, DB, Era IV - Federal Railroad Classic in ocean blue/ivory

The Trix 22640 H0 electric locomotive 140 800-4 is a precise reproduction of a real Era IV German Federal Railroad classic. With its characteristic ocean blue/ivory paint scheme and the distinctive wear buffer beam, it exudes the charm of the 1980s. This class 140 was a reliable mainstay of freight and passenger traffic on the German Federal Railroad for decades and had a lasting impact on the image on German tracks.

Prototype: The robust class 140 of the German Federal Railroad

The class 140 is one of the best-known and most-built German electric locomotives. It was developed in the 1950s as a universal locomotive for freight and passenger train services and remained in service for decades. The locomotive with the road number 140 800-4 represents the operating condition from 1986 and has the typical ocean blue/ivory paint scheme of the time.

High-quality workmanship and authentic details

The model impresses with a prototypical and filigree replica. Particularly noteworthy are the detailed roof superstructures with the newly designed pantographs of type DBS 54. Many separately applied parts such as grab irons, steps and UIC sockets underline the high level of detail. The locomotive driver figure in cab 1 provides even more realism on the layout. Brake lines and screw couplings are included as separately attachable accessories.

Digital features and modern technology

The Trix 22640 electric locomotive is equipped with a powerful digital decoder and extensive sound functions. The controlled high-performance drive with flywheel mass ensures excellent smooth running. All four axles are driven by cardan shafts, allowing the locomotive to develop high tractive power. Thanks to traction tires, it remains safely on the rails even under load.

The three-light headlights with two red marker lights that change depending on the direction of travel provide realistic lighting. These can be operated conventionally and switched digitally. In addition, the headlights on locomotive sides 1 and 2 can be switched off separately, making the typical double A light function possible. The cab and engine room lighting can also be switched digitally. All light sources are equipped with maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs.

Conclusion: An indispensable locomotive for Era IV fans

The Trix 22640 H0 electric locomotive 140 800-4 is a perfect choice for all model railroaders who value a realistic and technically mature electric locomotive. Thanks to its high level of detail, modern digital equipment and striking color scheme, it is a real highlight for any layout. Whether in passenger or freight service - this locomotive always cuts a fine figure!
