Details

Add rare interwar German electric freight power to your European HO scale railway with the TRIX 25772 DRB Class EG 524 Electric Locomotive, a highly detailed model representing one of the early heavy electric freight locomotives developed for the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Finished in authentic brown-green DRB livery as EG 524 Halle, this impressive model captures the distinctive early 20th-century “articulated box” design used on electrified routes in central Germany during Epoch I service.

Produced to TRIX’s premium standards for European model railways, this HO scale (1:87) locomotive features a factory-fitted mfx/DCC digital sound decoder with extensive operational sound functions and realistic lighting control. A centrally mounted high-efficiency motor with flywheel drives both powered bogies via cardan shafts, delivering smooth, reliable traction and excellent pulling performance for freight formations.

The model is constructed with a highly detailed metal body and features separately applied components such as handrails, brake piping and fine roof equipment. Articulated drive frames connected via coupling rods accurately replicate the prototype’s distinctive mechanical layout, while warm white and red LED lighting provides directional illumination. Additional digitally controlled functions include cab lighting and multi-stage headlight operation for enhanced realism on modern HO layouts.
