Minitrix’s April releases deliver a comprehensive update for N scale (1:160) modellers, combining new locomotives, freight stock, track components and a complete starter set to suit both newcomers and established layouts. The latest additions place a clear emphasis on operational variety, with a mix of European and North American prototypes alongside essential infrastructure to expand and enhance layouts.
Leading the release is a strong selection of locomotives, including the DBAG BR120 electric and the characterful DRB R 3/3 steam locomotive, both representing classic European traction, while modern and private operator interest is covered by the TRI BR110 “Elefantexpress”. For those modelling across the Atlantic, the impressive Union Pacific 3700 Challenger steam locomotive adds real presence, with all key models offered with DCC sound for enhanced realism.
Freight operations are well supported with contemporary container traffic, including GATX Rail Austria and RRL Sgnss wagons with detailed loads, joined by an NS Millet bogie tank wagon to broaden operational scope. Alongside the rolling stock, Minitrix has introduced a wide range of track elements, from curved sections and crossings to adapter and extension sets, making layout expansion straightforward. Completing the line-up is a DB BR141 electric passenger starter set with DCC sound, providing an ideal entry point into N scale while also offering a convenient ready-to-run solution for experienced modellers.
