About

Trix

Trix, founded in Nuremberg in 1838, is a cornerstone of German toy history that revolutionized the hobby with the introduction of the "Trix Express" tabletop railway in 1935. Following its acquisition by Märklin in 1997, the brand transitioned from its unique three-rail roots to become the premium global standard for two-rail DC modeling. Today, it serves as the sophisticated counterpart to Märklin's AC system, offering collectors high-fidelity reproductions that are compatible with the international DC and DCC standards used by the majority of the world’s model railroaders.

The brand's identity is defined by a commitment to heavy, high-quality construction, frequently utilizing die-cast metal for locomotive bodies to ensure superior tracking and durability. Operating in both H0 (1:87) and the legendary Minitrix N-gauge (1:160), the company specializes in technically advanced models featuring synchronized sound, intricate lighting functions, and full digital integration. By blending centuries of manufacturing tradition with modern digital innovation, Trix remains a definitive choice for enthusiasts who demand museum-quality accuracy and robust mechanical performance for their layouts.
