Trix 25873 H0 Class 193 Electric Locomotive, DB, Era IV: Powerful Electric Locomotive for Freight Service

The Trix 25873 H0 class 193 electric loc omotive is a detailed reproduction of the heavy freight locomotive of the German Federal Railroad (DB) from Era IV. With its striking chrome oxide green paint scheme and extensive technical equipment, this model brings the impressive technology and classic design of the 1970s to your model railroad layout.

The prototype: German Federal Railroad class 193

The class 193 was a powerful electric locomotive that was mainly used for heavy freight traffic in the 1970s. With its characteristic chrome oxide green paint scheme, 6 sandboxes, a starting lamp and the Indusi equipment, the 193 008-0 locomotive was a prime example of the engineering skills of this era. Based at the Kornwestheim depot of the BD Stuttgart, it was an important part of the freight network of the German Federal Railroad.

Detailed reproduction and high-quality workmanship

The model of the Trix 25873 class 193 is impressive because of its precise and prototypical design. The chrome oxide green basic paint scheme has been implemented with the utmost precision, while numerous separately applied details such as grab irons, sand boxes, and coupler hooks emphasize the authenticity. Driver's cabs and the engine room are equipped with a relief interior, which increases the level of detail of the model.

Extensive digital functions

The locomotive has a digital decoder with numerous light and sound functions. The triple headlights that change over with the direction of travel and the red marker lights can be controlled digitally. The headlights on both sides of the locomotive can be switched off separately to activate a double A light function. In addition, a starting light can be switched depending on the direction of travel, and the cab lighting can also be controlled digitally. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs provide realistic and long-lasting lighting.

Powerful technology

The controlled high-performance drive with centrally installed flywheel drives two axles in each bogie via cardan shafts. Traction tires ensure a high tractive force, which makes the locomotive ideal for use with heavy freight trains. With a length over buffers of 20.3 cm and a minimum radius of 360 mm, the model is versatile and suitable for both larger and more compact layouts.

Typical applications

The class 193 008-0 is ideal for use in Era IV freight traffic. It can pull long freight trains on your model railway layout and authentically depict the atmosphere of the 1970s. Its classic design and high performance make it an eye-catcher in any collection.
