Robust Roadbed Track for Two-Rail Layouts
What is Trix H0 C-Track?
Trix C-Track is an H0 two-rail track system with an integrated plastic roadbed. The rail profile, sleepers and ballast body form a stable track element that can be laid quickly.
The track belongs to H0 gauge at a scale of 1:87 and has a track gauge of 16.5 millimetres. The profile is approximately 2.1 millimetres high and corresponds to Code 83.
The low-resistance click connections join the track mechanically and electrically. Contact tabs beneath the track permit additional electrical power feeds.
Fixed straights and curves permit geometrically precise track plans. Standard and curved turnouts include manual levers and can later be equipped with electric drives.
The integrated roadbed makes the system suitable for both permanent layouts and table or floor layouts that are changed regularly.
Integrated Ballast Roadbed
The moulded roadbed creates a complete appearance even without additional ballasting.
Suitable for Analogue and Digital Operation
The two-rail track is suitable for conventional DC and digital model railway layouts.
Five Radius Groups and Coordinated Turnout Geometry
Compare Trix C-Track Radii and Lengths
Twelve 30-degree curves form a complete circle. Partial curves of 5.7, 7.5, 15 or 24.3 degrees provide geometric compensation and turnout connections.
| Geometry | Radius or Length | Angle | Products | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short Straights | 64.3 to 94.2 mm | – | 62064, 62071, 62077, 62094 | Length compensation and turnout formations |
| Long Straights | 171.7 to 236.1 mm | – | 62172, 62188, 62229, 62236 | Routes, stations and parallel connections |
| R1 | 360 mm | 7.5°, 15° or 30° | 62107, 62115, 62130 | Compact inner circle |
| R2 | 437.5 mm | 5.7°, 24.3° or 30° | 62206, 62224, 62230 | Outer circle and standard turnouts |
| R3 | 515 mm | 15° or 30° | 62315, 62330 | Visible routes and larger vehicles |
| R4 | 579.3 mm | 30° | 62430 | Generous outer curve |
| R5 | 643.6 mm | 30° | 62530 | Main lines and long vehicles |
| Standard Turnout | 188.3 mm / R2 | 24.3° | 62611, 62612 | Stations, passing loops and sidings |
| Curved Turnout | Inner curve R1 | 30° | 62671, 62672 | Junction within a curved route |
Observe Vehicle Radii
Long passenger coaches and large locomotives look smoother and more prototypical on R3 to R5.
Plan Electrical Power Feeds
The existing contact tabs permit additional electrical feeds at several points.
Retrofit Turnout Drives
Standard and curved turnouts are supplied with manual levers and prepared for motorisation.

From a Table Layout to a Permanently Detailed H0 Layout
Planning and Laying Trix C-Track Correctly
Radii, track lengths, turnout drives, power feeds and maintenance access should be planned together before the track is permanently secured.
Temporary Construction
The click connection is suitable for table, floor and carpet layouts with changing track plans.
Permanent Model Railway Layout
The roadbed can be painted and integrated into the scenery with additional ballast.
Station and Shunting Area
Standard and curved turnouts permit compact passing, loading and storage tracks.
Step 1
Match Vehicles and Radii
Check the minimum radius of the longest locomotives, coaches and multiple units.
Step 2
Plan Straights and Partial Curves
Use suitable system lengths instead of connecting track under mechanical tension.
Step 3
Prepare the Electrics and Turnouts
Power feeds and drives should be installed and tested before the track is secured permanently.
Step 4
Test First, Then Secure the Track
Test every route using several vehicles and in both directions.
Avoid Common C-Track Errors
- Connecting track at an angle or only partially
- Forcing unsuitable straights into the track grid
- Using R1 without testing long vehicles
- Providing too few electrical power feeds
- Installing turnout drives without maintenance access
- Distorting the roadbed with overtightened screws
Guidance About the Turnout Frogs
The metal frogs of the verified standard and curved turnouts can be polarised for a more reliable electrical power supply.
