Trix 25141 H0 Steam Locomotive 141 R 1244, SNCF, Ep. VI, MFX-DC Sound: A Legendary American Steam Locomotive in France

The Trix 25141 H0 steam locomotive 141 R 1244 is a model that is a special highlight for lovers of French railroad history as well as for technical enthusiasts. This impressive steam locomotive, which was built in cooperation with the USA for the French state railroads after the Second World War, is in the current operating condition of Era VI of the SNCF. With extensive sound and light functions and a smoke generator installed as standard, this model is a tribute to the powerful era of steam locomotives.

The prototype for the Trix 25141: The SNCF class 141 R

After the Second World War, the French railroad industry was severely damaged. In order to quickly remedy the lack of operational locomotives, France turned to the USA, which supplied a universally usable and powerful steam locomotive with the 141 R series. These locomotives were specially built to French standards and were to be used for both freight and passenger services. A total of 1,340 locomotives of this series were produced, of which the first 700 were delivered in 1945 and 1946.

The 141 R 1244 is one of the locomotives that is still operational today. It is maintained by the French state railroad SNCF in cooperation with the Mikado 1244 association in Switzerland and is used on special trips. A particularly striking feature of this locomotive is the oil tender, which significantly increased the efficiency and range of the machine. With an output of 2,300 HP, the 141 R 1244 could effortlessly pull heavy trains through the French countryside.
