Dominant: Smoke deflectors of an unconventional design, such as those on 18 537,
contribute to the striking profile of steam locomotives. The poster page “Technology
in detail” gives a summary.
Dear
Club members,
At the International Toy Fair, Trix has had a splendid start into the 2015 exhi-
bition season with a large number of new models, aided by the Club models
for this year, with their forward-looking new designs which are described in
detail elsewhere in this issue. We look at the special technical and functional
features of Minitrix loco 78 1001, produced as a series model for the first time,
while diversity of functions and running pleasure are under the spotlight in the
superb Pacific H0 loco 18 537. The pierced smoke deflectors on the class 18.5
prompted us to take a close look in the “Technology in detail” at Wagner and
Witte smoke deflectors. Finishing off our vehicle show, we have a comprehensive
list of the anniversary models for long-standing members.
Layout constructors have value for their money too. Minitrix is producing the
coal-mine Zeche Zollverein as a laser-cut model – a spectacular kit of this
UNESCO World Heritage site. We are particularly pleased to present an idea
built by a member of the Eisenbahnfreunde Kahlgrund: a diorama as a showcase
of the Norwegian fjord world.
Naturally we report on subjects from Club life, like the summer highlight of the
Club trip to Switzerland. This adventure tour will be powered by a Crocodile
– what else – up the Gotthard north ramp, and a special train will then climb
the Furka Pass with steam traction. In our Club series, we cover the reductions
you can claim on Club trips, from cooperation partners and on visiting exhibi-
tions, and finally, we will be promoting a draw for tickets to the Ravensburger
Spieleland. Enjoy reading your Club News!

Superb: On the Trix Stand there will be an N-gauge laser-cut building kit model of the Zeche
Zollverein made up to be admired, and also a little exhibition gift for Club members.
T
he top theme of model
railroads packs two large
exhibitions halls at the
37th Intermodellbau in
Dortmund from April
15 to 19, 2015 with models,
layouts and accessories. Trix is very
conspicuous in Hall 4 (stand 4.A38) –
with elaborate demonstration layouts
and all the attractive new releases for this
model year, which naturally include the
Club models for 2015. The new Minitrix
laser-cut building kit “Zeche Zollverein”,
with all its fine details, deserves special at-
tention. In all, there are around 40 model
railroad layouts in different gauges from
all over Europe in the Westfalenhallen in
Dortmund. In Intermodellbau halls 3A
Special cars: The Märklin container flat car
(48635) in H0 will be on sale at the Märklin
stand during Intermodellbau. When the
wheelsets are changed, it can also be used on
Trix layouts.
For the Intermodellbau, Trix is again pro-
ducing the popular special cars. This year
in N-gauge, it is a high-sided car of type
Eanos (item 15435), and awaiting Trix H0
operators is a Märklin container flat car
“Dortmunder Union-Bier” (item 48635),
which is suitable for Trix layouts as well
after the wheelsets are replaced. These spe-
cial cars will be produced as two once-only
series, and sold at the Intermodellbau ex-
hibition stand while stocks last.
Further information on the
exhibition will be found under
www.intermodellbau.de

A model range well worth seeing
Trix scored heavily at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg and at the
public exhibition ‘Faszination Modellbahn’ in Sinsheim with its new models
program for 2015 both with the trade and with model railroaders. There was
naturally plenty of praise for the 2015 Club models, and for the Minitrix
“Cisalpino” train set (item 11629, pictured at the bottom), the models cele-
brating 25 years since reunification like the two “Taurus” locos depicting
the Pan-European Picnic (16954, 16955) or the magnificent H0 steam type
G 5/5 freight loco (22029). At the Toy Fair and only for members of the trade
there was the Minitrix class 111 electric loco (item 16112) with experimental
color scheme as trade fair special, and in Nuremberg Trix also took the trade
visitors by surprise with the present of a two axle sliding wall box car lettered
to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the class E 03. The Henschel building
is depicted with its six-pointed star and the E 03 001 with its single row of
ventilator grilles. The motif is repeated on the lid of the box.
E 93 07 is “Model
of the Year”
Exhibition loco: Supplied in a wooden
case, Minitrix electric loco 111 068-3 of
the DB with experimental color scheme
was available for retailers to order only
at the Toy Fair.
Give-away: At the Toy Fair, Trix present-
ed trade visitors with a Minirix sliding
wall box car lettered to celebrate the
50th anniversary of the E 03.
Two Trix locos gained first place in their
respective classes in the vote for “Model of
the Year” by the readers of the Eisenbahn
Magazin, published by the Alba Verlag. In
the electric locos, the readers voted first
place to the exclusive Club model for 2014,
E 93 07 (item 22870); in the steam locos, the
winner was the class 41 (item 22375) with the
standard 2’2’T34 box tender.
