Manufacturer Trix: Model making at the highest level

Trix is known for its high-quality model railroads, which impress with their attention to detail as well as their technical sophistication. The Class 77 combines state-of-the-art technology with a precise replica of the original. The standard built-in digital decoder with extensive sound and light functions and the smoke generator set new standards in model railroad technology. This model is a prime example of the innovative power and quality of Trix.

Era VI: Modern Railroad Technology

The Trix Class 77 belongs to Era VI, which extends from 2007 to the present day. This period is characterized by modern operating procedures, innovative vehicle technologies and the privatization of rail transport. The Euro Cargo Rail is a typical example of privatization and the international use of modern locomotives. The model authentically reflects these developments and brings the charm of modern railroad technology to your layout.

Technical highlights of the Trix 22996

The Class 77 impresses with numerous technical features. The digital decoder offers extensive sound and light functions that can be controlled individually. A controlled high-performance drive with flywheel mass ensures smooth and powerful performance. Four axles are driven by cardan shafts and traction tires guarantee high tractive power. The lighting is provided by maintenance-free LEDs that produce a realistic light image. A smoke generator fitted as standard gives the model additional realism. The control panel and driver's cab lighting can also be switched digitally.

Design and attention to detail

The model is characterized by a precise reproduction of the original. Many separately applied details, a detailed buffer beam and the authentic signs of ageing make the Class 77 a visual highlight. The locomotive is equipped with an NEM coupling shaft and KK kinematics, which makes it easy to integrate into existing model railroad layouts. With a length over buffers of 24.7 cm, the locomotive fits perfectly with modern freight trains.

Areas of application

The Trix 22996 Class 77 is ideal for use on H0 model railroad layouts. It is specially designed for freight service and is perfect for long, heavy freight trains. With its minimum radius of 360 mm, it can also be used on smaller layouts. The locomotive fits seamlessly into modern scenarios and is an eye-catcher on any layout.

Care and maintenance

To maximize the service life of the model, we recommend regular cleaning of the wheels and housing. The smoke generator should only be operated with distilled water to avoid deposits. Spare parts and accessories are available from Trix or from specialist dealers. The LEDs and the digital decoder are maintenance-free, which minimizes the amount of care required.

Conclusion and purchase recommendation

The Trix 22996 H0 Class 77, ECR, Era VI diesel locomotive is a technical and visual masterpiece that leaves nothing to be desired. With its detailed design, extensive digital functions and robust workmanship, it is a highlight for any model railroad layout.
