WOA BR101 Raw Metal Electric Locomotive (DCC-Sound)

Details:

Make a statement on your H0 model railway with this distinctive Trix Class 101 express train locomotive, finished in an unusual metallic design that leaves the locomotive's raw metal construction visible beneath a transparent protective lacquer. The locomotive is decorated with the raised Wacken Open Air (W:O®) logo, reproduced using 3D digital printing to create an eye-catching relief effect. Underneath its striking exterior, the model features a controlled high-efficiency motor driving all four axles, traction tyres, cab lighting and a digital decoder with extensive sound functions. The model is compatible with DCC, mfx and RailCom and includes energy storage to help bridge short interruptions in power.

This Trix model represents a particularly unusual version, celebrating Wacken Open Air (W:O®), one of Europe's most famous heavy metal music festivals. Rather than applying a conventional full-colour advertising wrap, the locomotive's metallic finish deliberately exposes the appearance of the underlying metal, complemented by the raised W:O® logo. This striking treatment makes the locomotive a unique addition to a modern German model railway and an appealing collector's piece for railway and music fans alike.

Historical Background

The Class 101 is a modern German electric express locomotive developed for Deutsche Bahn's high-speed passenger services. Introduced in the 1990s, the class was designed to replace older locomotives and provide a versatile solution for hauling InterCity and other express passenger trains. The locomotives were built with a four-axle configuration and were designed for a maximum speed of 220 km/h, making them an important part of Germany's modern passenger railway fleet.

Over the years, Class 101 locomotives have become a familiar sight on German main lines, hauling a wide variety of passenger services. Their distinctive shape and strong performance have also made them popular subjects for special promotional liveries and advertising designs.
