Trix T25951 — Dampflok BR 003 Einstieg

The Class 003 (formerly DRG Class 03) represents a significant era of German express steam power, specifically designed for the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) during Era IV. Originally developed as a lightweight alternative to the Class 01, these 4-6-2 ‘Pacific’ locomotives were engineered for mainlines with a maximum axle load of 18 tons, allowing them to service routes that the heavier Class 01 could not traverse. By the 1960s and 1970s, these locomotives continued to haul heavy express trains across West Germany, distinguished by their large smoke deflectors and high-diameter driving wheels that facilitated stable high-speed operation.

This Trix H0 scale model (SKU T25951) is constructed with a die-cast metal boiler and chassis to provide optimal weight for tractive effort. The locomotive features a high-performance motor with a flywheel, driving three powered axles with traction tires. It is equipped with a digital decoder compatible with DCC and mfx protocols, offering a full suite of synchronized steam locomotive sound functions and operating headlights. The model includes a NEM 362 coupler pocket with a close-coupling mechanism on the tender, integrated LED lighting, and is prepared for the installation of a smoke generator to enhance prototypical realism.
