Trix German Steam Locomotive BR 52 of the DR  
    

---

Prototype: German State Railroad (DR) class 52 heavy freight locomotive with a type 2´2´T30 tub-style tender. Dark gray basic paint scheme. Without smoke deflectors. Frost protection cladding for the air compressor and clad lubrication lines. The pilot truck wheelset includes solid wheels. Locomotive road number 52 1400. The locomotive looks as it did around 1943/44.

Highlights

• Detailed version constructed mostly of metal.
• Prototypical cladding for protection against frost.
• Buffer height on the front adheres to the NEM and the coupler is flat.
• RailCom capable DCC/mfx digital decoder and numerous operation and sound functions included.
• Intricate running gear with mostly open view between the running gear and the boiler.
• High-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel, in the boiler.

Model: The locomotive has a digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel, in the boiler. 5 axles powered. Traction tires. The locomotive and the tub-style tender are constructed mostly of metal. A 7226 smoke unit can be installed in the locomotive. Dual headlights, which change over with the direction of travel, and the smoke unit, which can be installed, will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. Cab lighting can also be controlled digitally. Maintenance-free warm white LEDs are used for the lighting. There is a close coupling with a guide mechanism between the locomotive and tender. There is a close coupler with a guide mechanism in an NEM pocket on the rear of the tender and the front of the locomotive. Also, the buffer height on the front adheres to the NEM. The minimum radius for operation is 360 mm / 14-3/16". Protective piston rod sleeves, brake hoses, and imitation prototype couplers are included.
Length over the buffers 26.4 cm / 10-3/8".
