Trix 25291 dual-power locomotive series 248 RP, Ep. VI

Trix 25291 Class 248 RP Dual Power Locomotive, Era VI: Flexibility and Modern Technology on the Rails

The Trix 25291 class 248 dual-power locomotive, also known as the Vectron Dual Mode, is one of the newest and most innovative locomotives on the rails in Germany. The model of this locomotive, which is operated by Railssystems RP GmbH, represents the operating condition in the year 2021 and belongs to Era VI. With a length over buffers (LüP) of 23 cm and extensive digital functions, this locomotive is a modern masterpiece in the world of model railroading. It combines the advantages of an electric locomotive with those of a diesel locomotive and thus ensures maximum flexibility in railroad operation.

The prototype: The BR 248 dual-power locomotive

The class 248, also known as the Vectron Dual Mode, is part of the Vectron product family from Siemens and is one of the most modern locomotives currently in use in freight and passenger transportation. The special feature of the BR 248 is its ability to run both electrically over overhead lines and in diesel mode. This dual-power technology enables the locomotive to operate on non-electrified lines without any problems, making its use in rail transport considerably more flexible and efficient. This locomotive is an indispensable tool, especially for rail operators such as Railssystems RP GmbH, who work on different lines.

The BR 248 bears the road number 248 002 and represents technological progress in the rail sector. With its introduction in 2021, the locomotive stands for efficiency, flexibility and environmental friendliness, as it can be operated emission-free on electrified lines and still be powerful on non-electrified lines.

High-quality model realization from Trix

With the BR 248 model, Trix has brought a completely new design onto the market that impresses with its many technical refinements and robust construction. The model is designed in H0 scale and has controlled high-efficiency propulsion that drives all four axles. In addition, traction tires provide the necessary tractive force, even in demanding driving conditions on the layout. The chassis and body are largely made of metal, which gives the model particular stability and durability.

The locomotive is equipped with a digital decoder (DCC/mfx) that offers extensive sound functions. Realistic sound effects such as driving noises, signal horn and other sounds can be controlled digitally. The lighting is provided by warm white and red LEDs, which are maintenance-free and change between white three-light headlights and red marker lights depending on the direction of travel. The option of digitally controlling the cab lighting and engine room lighting is especially interesting and gives the model additional realism.

Technical details for the Trix 25291 class 248 dual-power locomotive

The Trix 25291 has numerous technical highlights that make it an indispensable model on any H0 layout. The locomotive has a buffer height according to NEM, which makes it compatible with a large number of cars. The direction of travel-dependent light change with LED technology ensures realistic lighting conditions, whereby the headlights on locomotive sides 1 and 2 can each be switched off separately digitally. If the headlights on both sides are deactivated, the double A light function is activated, making the model even more flexible in operation.

The separately switchable driving lamp, which can also be controlled digitally, provides additional functionality. Attachable brake hoses are also included in the scope of delivery and can be attached to the model if required to further increase realism.

Recommended purchase: State-of-the-art technology for demanding model railroaders

The Trix 25291 BR 248 dual-power locomotive is an excellent choice for model railroaders who value technical innovation and realistic operation. With its ability to run on both electrified and non-electrified lines, it is an extremely flexible locomotive that no modern H0 layout should be without. The extensive digital functions, the high-quality metal workmanship and the many applied details make this model a real highlight.

Whether for freight or passenger traffic - the BR 248 offers countless possible uses on the model railway layout. The numerous functions such as the separately switchable lighting and the authentic sound effects make every journey a realistic experience. Anyone looking for a modern, powerful and detailed model will be more than satisfied with the Trix BR 248.
