Trix 25299 H0 Vectron DM class 249, DB AG, Ep. VI: Modern Hybrid Locomotive for Flexible Freight Service

The Trix 25299 H0 Vectron DM class 249 is the innovative dual-power locomotive from Deutsche Bahn AG. This locomotive from the Siemens Vectron product family combines electric and diesel drive systems, providing maximum flexibility for rail freight transportation. The model shows the operating condition in 2024 and impresses with state-of-the-art technology, extensive functions and a detailed replica.

The prototype: Vectron Dual Mode BR 249 from DB Cargo

The class 249 is part of the Vectron product family and, as a "dual mode" version, is specially designed for flexible use on electrified and non-electrified routes. With its ability to switch between diesel and electric drive, it offers an efficient and environmentally friendly solution for rail freight transport. The locomotive with the road number 249 006 is used by DB Cargo AG and embodies the latest technology for the challenges of modern rail transport.

Detailed reproduction and high-quality technology

The model of the Trix 25299 Vectron Dual Mode is impressive with its prototypical design and technical equipment. The roof superstructure with pantographs that can be raised and lowered digitally, the finely detailed bogies and the precise reproduction of the design make the locomotive a visual highlight. The typical modern red and white color scheme of DB Cargo has been implemented with the highest accuracy.

Extensive digital functions

The locomotive is equipped with a digital decoder that offers numerous light and sound functions. The three-light headlights that change depending on the direction of travel and the red tail lights can be switched digitally. The main headlights, the cab lighting with direction of travel change, the control panel lighting and the engine room lighting can be controlled separately in digital operation. When the headlights on both sides of the locomotive are turned off, the double A light function on both sides is activated. Maintenance-free LEDs in warm white and red provide authentic lighting.

Powerful technology and special functions

The controlled high-performance drive powers all four axles, with traction tires ensuring high tractive power. A buffer tank guarantees uninterrupted operation. The locomotive has a Telex coupling on both sides, which can be switched separately digitally, and also offers the coupling roller function. Attachable brake hoses and shunting couplings are included with the model to further increase the level of detail.

Typical applications

The Vectron Dual Mode BR 249 is predestined for use in freight traffic, especially on lines that include both electrified and non-electrified sections. This model is perfectly suited for the representation of modern freight trains of Era VI and can be used in a variety of international transportation tasks on the model railway layout.

Conclusion and purchase recommendation

The Trix 25299 H0 Vectron DM class 249 is an impressive model that perfectly reflects the latest technology and the flexibility of modern hybrid locomotives. With its extensive digital functions, robust technology and precise reproduction, this locomotive is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to enrich their layout with a piece of the future.
