EBay descriptions



Here is a fantastic loco.

It represents a German Railway, DB class BR03.10 formerly class BR03 with streamlining, in the attractive Black and Red livery looking as the prototype did around 1965. It is a rebuilt version with a smoother appearing boiler and covers over the coal space on the tender.

It is a perfect loco for all main lines, being completely at home on express passenger trains and also mixed trains, locals and even freight trains.

Being Trix, it is heavy, robust and reliable with a metal chassis and well detailed plastic body. It is fitted with a flywheel equipped can motor in the boiler, driving the actual locomotive. It is also fitted with traction tyres and has very good hauling capacity. It is very smooth running indeed with very little “cogging” even at slow speeds.

It is fitted with a Trix (mfx?) sound decoder with a lovely sound to it. It also has digitally controlled lights front and rear. The digital address is as per the loco running number, ie: 1001.

It is supplied with the Trix version of the standard European hook and loop coupler which is easily exchanged if you wish, due to being fitted with the NEM coupler boxes.

I have described it as “new (other)” as it is perfectly immaculate and in “mint” condition. I have run it to a small degree, maybe as much as three hours of operation in total. That is barely “run in”!

Also, it is not modified in any way, in other words, it is as new.


Only selling due to a change in focus.
