Trix 25059 H0 Steam Locomotive 59 032, DB, Ep. III: Powerful Locomotive for Heavy Freight Trains
The Trix 25059 H0 Steam Locomotive 59 032 is an impressive reproduction of the class 59 heavy freight steam locomotive. This locomotive, which was originally developed as the Württemberg class K, is one of the most powerful steam locomotives of its time. In the striking black paint scheme with red running gear and equipped with a 2'2'T20 coal tender, this model reflects the operating condition of the German Federal Railroad (DB) around 1949.
The prototype: The DB class 59
The class 59, formerly the Württemberg class K, was designed as a heavy freight locomotive for use on steep lines. With its enormous tractive power, it was ideal for transporting heavy loads in mountainous regions. The 59 032 locomotive was stationed at BD Stuttgart, Bw Plochingen and handled demanding freight trains. Its robust construction and striking appearance made it a symbol of the efficiency of steam locomotives in the post-war period.
Detailed reproduction and high-quality technology
The model of the Trix 25059 steam locomotive is impressive with its detailed design and advanced technology. The curved frame with axles that can be moved to the side allows realistic movement in tight radii. Six powered axles and traction tires provide excellent tractive power, while the controlled high-performance drive with flywheel mass in the boiler ensures smooth running characteristics. The lighting is provided by maintenance-free warm white LEDs that represent a prototypical two-light headlights.
Historic paint scheme and design
The locomotive has the classic black basic paint scheme with red running gear that was typical for the steam locomotives of the German Federal Railroad in Era III. Every detail, from the piston rod protection tubes to the imitation screw couplings, has been precisely reproduced. Separately included parts such as brake hoses and buffer tanks round off the prototypical replica.
Modern functions for a realistic driving experience
The Trix 25059 is equipped with a digital decoder that offers extensive light and sound functions. The retrofittable smoke unit can be controlled conventionally or digitally, and the digital buffer memory system ensures uninterrupted operation even in sections without power. These functions, combined with the adjustable close coupler between the locomotive and tender, make the model a technical highlight.
Typical applications
The locomotive is ideally suited for use in heavy freight trains of Era III. With a minimum radius of 360 mm, it can also be operated on more compact layouts. In combination with matching freight wagons or other steam locomotives, an authentic picture of post-war freight traffic is created.
Conclusion and purchase recommendation
The Trix 25059 H0 Steam Locomotive 59 032 is an impressive model that impressively depicts the power and elegance of the heavy freight steam locomotives of the German Federal Railroad. With its high-quality workmanship, extensive functions and detailed reproduction, it is a must-have for every model train fan and collector. This model brings the fascination of Era III to your layout and is both visually and technically impressive.
