22900 Diesel Locomotive.
Kleines Produktbild

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class V 300 large heavy diesel locomotive. V 300 general-purpose locomotive as it looked in the Sixties.
Model: The locomotive has a DCC/Selectrix decoder, controlled Softdrive Sine high-efficiency propulsion, and a sound generator. The locomotive has a compact design, powerful motor. 4 axles powered through cardan shafts from the centrally mounted motor. Traction tires. The headlights will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The headlights are maintenance-free, warm white LEDs and the marker lights are LEDs. The locomotive has metal grab irons on the sides and ends. The locomotive has detailed buffer beams with separately applied brake hoses and one each flat and rounded buffer plates. The couplers can be replaced with end skirting and imitation prototype couplers. Length over the buffers 23.3 cm / 9-3/16".

The 22900 diesel locomotive is being produced in 2009 in a one-time series only for Trix Profi Club members.

The V 300 - A One-Off Model with 6 Axles. The firm Krauss-Maffei built three type ML 2200 6-axle locomotives for the Yugoslavian State Railroad; they were based on the German Federal Railroad's successful V 200. Perhaps in the hope of additional orders, a fourth, identical locomotive with the C-C wheel arrangement was built at Krauss-Maffei's own cost as a demonstrator unit. This locomotive was presented and offered in a striking builder's paint scheme to the German Federal Railroad among others. After several tests, the motor performance for this locomotive was increased and was designated internally at Krauss-Maffei as the type ML 3000 C'C'. It took long negotiations to move the German Federal Railroad to buy this one-off model and put it on its roster as road no. V 300 001. It was painted in the elegant crimson / gray color scheme of its four-axle siblings and was used primarily in premium express train service. In 1968, it was given the computer number 230 001-0 and this impressive machine could be seen in its last years in service between Hamburg and Westerland on the Isle of Sylt, where it also pulled the popular auto trains between Niebüll and Westerland. In 1975, road no. 230 001-0 was put in storage, and the German Federal Railroad tried to sell it, unsuccessfully however, to Italy in 1977. In 1978, it came back to Germany and was finally scrapped two years later.

22236 "Gray Mouse" Powered Rail Car Train.
Kleines Produktbild

Prototype: Swiss Federal Railways (SBB/CFF/FFS) class RABe four system electric powered rail car train. 6-car unit with 1 cab control car, 1st class, 1 open seating car, 1st class, 1 motor car with galley, 1 bar car with a 2nd class open seating area, 1 open seating car, 2nd class, and 1 cab control car, 2nd class. Rebuilt version in the typical SBB light and dark gray EC paint scheme. Used in international EC service. The train looks as it did when delivered in 1993 as Euro City train 154 "Killesberg".
Model: The power car is behind the 1st class open seating car in the 6-car train. It has a DCC/Selectrix decoder and a sound effects generator. It also has a 5-pole skewed armature motor with a flywheel, centrally mounted. 4 axles powered through cardan shafts. Traction tires. The headlights (they change over with the direction of travel) and factory-installed interior lights are maintenance-free, warm white LEDs; the marker lights are maintenance-free red LEDs. The lights will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The train has four different pantographs in an offset arrangement and detailed roof equipment. The train also has separately applied metal grab irons. The engineer's cabs and the passenger areas have interior details. There is a special close coupled mechanical and electrical connection between the cars. The ends of the train have a representation of the Scharfenberg coupler (non-working). Minimum radius for operation 360 mm / 14-3/16". Train length approximately 161.0 cm / 63-3/8".

Highlights:
  • 6-car unit.
  • Prototypical changes to the bodies and interiors.
  • DCC/Selectrix decoder and sound generator.
  • 5-pole skewed armature motor with a flywheel.
  • The EC RABe – A Gray Mouse in Cheese Land. After the end of TEE service and the beginning of Eurocity connections in 1987, the 5 class RAe powered rail car trains now operating as 6-car trains were rebuilt. Second class seating was installed, and the class designation was therefore changed to RABe. These powered rail car trains were given a light gray / dark gray paint scheme in keeping with the EC look, but one that was rather monotone compared to the elegant TEE paint scheme. These trains were run on the routes Zürich-Milan and Zürich-Stuttgart and were soon known as "Gray Mice". The trains' age however became increasingly noticeable, and when transformer damage and axle breaks mounted up, they were reduced to TGV feeder service between Bern and Frasne and were retired by 1999. One of the trains was overhauled and restored in 2003 to the original TEE paint scheme; it is now an historic, operational train belonging to the group "SBB Historic".

    This model can be found in an AC version in the Märklin H0 assortment under item no. 37546.
