Trix 25001 H0 Steam Locomotive 01 184, DRG, Ep. II: An Icon of German Railroad History

The Trix 25001 H0 steam locomotive 01 184 is a masterful model of a German State Railroad Company (DRG) express steam locomotive. With its magnificent appearance and extensive technical features, this model reflects the operating condition around 1936 and brings the heyday of Era II to your model railroad layout in great detail.

The prototype: The DRG class 01

The class 01 was developed in the 1930s as the first standardized express steam locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft. With its impressive performance and elegance, it set new standards in train transportation. The 01 184 locomotive with Wagner wind deflectors, a central shutter on the smokebox and the 2'2'T34 coal tender embodies the top performance of this series. It was primarily used for express trains that ran on the main lines of the German railroad network.

Detailed reproduction and high-quality workmanship

The model of the Trix 25001 steam locomotive impresses with its detailed design. The locomotive and tender are largely made of metal, which is impressive both visually and to the touch. The filigree Wagner wind deflectors, the central lock of the smoke box and the piston rod protection tubes reproduced true to the original are evidence of the highest precision. Thanks to the warm white and red LEDs, the lighting of the model is reproduced in prototypical quality.

Modern technology for the highest demands

The Trix 25001 is equipped with a digital decoder and extensive light and sound functions. The controlled high-performance drive with flywheel mass ensures excellent running characteristics. Three axles of the locomotive are powered and traction tires guarantee excellent tractive effort. The two-light headlights that change depending on the direction of travel and the digitally switchable firebox flickering make the driving experience particularly authentic. The locomotive is also prepared for a retrofittable smoke unit that can be operated conventionally or switched digitally.

Historic color scheme and design

The black and red color scheme of the locomotive corresponds to the DRG's operating status in the 1930s. This iconic paintwork emphasizes the elegance and strength of the class 01. Every lettering and road number is reproduced true to the original, making the model an authentic testimony to Era II.

Areas of application and expansion options

The Trix 25001 steam locomotive 01 184 is perfectly suited for use in historic Era II express trains. In combination with matching express train cars or other locomotives of this era, an authentic picture of train operation in the 1930s is created. With a minimum radius of 360 mm, the model can also be used on more compact layouts.
