Trix - H0 DB BR23 - Digital & Sound

[Claude_Dreyfus]

This is a Trix BR23 in DB epoch III condition - part number 22834.

 

It is factory DCC sound-fitted, boxed and in excellent condition.

 

The BR23s were mixed traffic locomotives, which operated throughout the latter days of West German steam; indeed it was a member of this class which was the last production steam locomotive built for DB. They weren't the prettiest locos to come out of Germany, but they were certainly an invaluable member of the DB fleet right up to the 1970s.

 

Some were fitted for push-pull (I believe the P/P locos all used 'tub' tenders, which this is not), so could often be seen with the silverfish coaches in their latter days.

 

I bought this model a few years back, and it has been a reliable member of the fleet. I do find the sound a little quiet, but I am sure some concentrated fiddling with the CVs may help with this. It is being moved on as I am concentrating on 1980s OBB, so it will be a little out of place!  

 

 

 

 

Looking for £180 + P&P for this one.
