Prototype Information: The Austrian Class 1116 (ES 64 U) is a Siemens locomotive built from 1999 to 2006. The ES 64 U runs in seven European countries and is nicknamed the "Taurus" locomotive; a name originally given to the Austrian Class 1016. The ES 64 U is used as both a passenger and freight locomotive. It has an 8600 horsepower rating and reaches a maximum speed of 140 MPH (230 KPH). In September of 2006 an Austrian Taurus set the world speed record for a locomotive when it reached a speed of 222 MPH (357 KPH) near Nurnberg.
Brand/Importer Information:
Trix is a German company that originally made Trix metal construction sets. one of its co-founders was Stephan Bing, the son of the pioneer toy-maker industrialist Ignaz Bing. In 1935 the company began producing the electrically powered model trains that it became famous for, under the Trix Express label. Prior to the outbreak of World War II the Trix company produced a small range of fairly unrealistic AC powered three rail models running at 14 volts.
N gauge models under the Minitrix brand were made from the late 1960s mostly of European prototypes (German and British primarily). North American prototypes were also manufactured and marketed under the Aurora "Postage Stamp" brand; later these items were sold under the American Tortoise, Model Power and Con-Cor brands. Trix sometimes utilized North American consultants to aid in the design of this portion of the product line. The "Hornby Minitrix' brand was used in the 1980s for a short lived range of British outline models using the earlier product tooling.
Trix's owner in the 1980s and 1990s was Mangold, which went bankrupt in the late 1990s and Marklin purchased the assets in January 1997. In part, this purchase was a reflection of Marklin's need for added production capacity; Trix had been manufacturing certain items for Marklin in previous years. The purchase was also in response to the earlier purchase of the Karl Arnold company by the Italian company Rivarossi; Marklin were very keen to take over Trix market share in 2-rail H0 and especially Minitrix, until then Marklin had not marketed N gauge models. In 2003, Marklin introduced its first N gauge models under the well established Minitrix brand. A number Marklin H0 scale three-rail AC locomotives have also been introduced in two-rail DC versions under the Trix logo and many models are shared between the two brands.
