Trix 25241 H0 Series 13 EST Express Steam Locomotive, Era II: French Elegance with Powerful Technology

With the Trix 25241 Series 13 (241-A) express steam locomotive, Trix is bringing a fascinating piece of French railroad history to the H0 model railroad layout. The locomotive was used in the 1930s by the French Eastern Railroad (EST) for heavy express train service and was a real powerhouse on international routes. It became particularly well known as the locomotive for the famous "L'Edelweiss" express train. The model presented here has the road number EST 241-004 and corresponds to the operating condition around 1931 - with a black basic paint scheme, adapted wind deflectors and type-specific details such as the kerosene headlights.

The Trix 25241 is not only a visual masterpiece, but also technically at the highest level. It has a DCC/mfx-compatible digital decoder that makes extensive light and sound functions possible. A controlled high-performance drive with flywheel mass in the boiler ensures excellent running characteristics. The locomotive is equipped with four powered axles, a robust metal body for the locomotive and tender as well as a standard smoke unit. The dual headlights with warm white LEDs change over with the direction of travel on the locomotive and tender and can be controlled digitally, as can the cab lighting.

The coupling between the locomotive and tender is connected via adjustable kinematics, and a close coupler with NEM shaft is also integrated on the tender. The model is designed for operation on layouts with a minimum radius of 437.5 mm and has an impressive length over buffers of 30.4 cm. For showcase enthusiasts, an alternative frame without wheel recesses is included, which can be exchanged for the standard trailing axle. The model is complemented by delicate accessories such as brake hoses, heating couplings and imitation screw couplings.

This model is aimed at enthusiasts of French railroad history, collectors of unusual steam locomotives and technically experienced model railroaders who are looking for a high-quality vehicle with excellent detailing and digital functionality. The combination of design, technology and history makes the Trix 25241 a highlight of any Era II layout.
