Trix GAS-TURBINE RAIL CAR TRAIN (EX)(L) 05

T22202

 

 

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 602 InterCity train. Rebuilt version of the VT 11.5 TEE powered rail car train with gas-turbine propulsion. Conversion year 1971. 4-unit train consisting of 2 powered end cars, 1 galley car, and 1 compartment car. Use: InterCity traffic.

Model: Era IV, frame and body of powered end cars and intermediate cars made of die-cast metal. Digital decoder for DCC and Trix systems, can also be used in conventional operation. Both powered end cars with 5-pole high-efficiency motor and with sound effects generator. 4 powered axles. Headlights with LED, digitally controlled. Installed interior lighting, digitally controlled. Continuous electric contact and special close couplings with guide mechanism between the cars. Direction-of-travel dependent power supply Separately applied grab irons. Total train length 880 mm / 34-21/32".

The success of TEE and InterCity traffic pushed the elegant diesel powered rail car trains to the limits of their capacity. In order for 10-car units to reach speeds of 160 km/h or 100 mph they needed more power. More powerful diesel motors would have been too large and two heavy, consequently the German Federal Railroad decided on turbine propulsion. The first class 601 powered end car was rebuilt in 1970/1971. The end car was given a 2400 hp turbine to replace the 1200 hp diesel motor. Although it was twice as powerful, the turbine was more compact, with a significantly increased air throughput. Huge intake air, ventilation, and exhaust air channels filled the round nose of the powered end car. On the outside the new propulsion could be identified by the wide exhaust stack between the windows of the vehicle cab and by the additional air hoods. They ensure that the turbines take in sufficient air in both directions of travel, also with a trailing powered end car.

Digital functions with TRIX Systems and DCC: • Triple white headlights and two red marker lights • Cars with interior lighting • Gas-turbine sound effect • Horn • Whistle signal 1 • Direct control without delay • Whistle signal 2 • Compressed air burst sound effect • Compressed air hiss sound effect • Fan sound effects • Braking sound effect • Door sound effects
