The Ae 4/4 series electric locomotives of the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon Railway hold a special place in Swiss railway history. Their development was closely tied to the demanding operating conditions on the BLS routes. The four-axle locomotives impressed with their powerful design and proved their worth over many decades of railway service.

A particular eye-catcher of the Trix Ae 4/4 251 is its classic nut-brown color scheme.

Together with the striking shape of the locomotive body, this creates an impressive replica of the preserved BLS prototype.
During the development of this completely new design, great emphasis was placed on reproducing the characteristic features. In particular, the roof section, the side superstructures, and the design of the cab areas define the locomotive’s overall appearance. The bogies also contribute significantly to the distinctive appearance of this series.
The meticulous reproduction of the prototype makes the Trix 25044 an attractive eye-catcher both on a model railroad layout and in a collection of historic Swiss electric locomotives.
