Product description

Model: The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has 2 controlled high-efficiency propulsion systems with flywheels, 1 motor for each powered truck. 3 axles and jackshaft powered in each powered truck. Traction tires. The locomotive frame is articulated to enable the locomotive to negotiate sharp curves. The triple headlights and 1 white marker light (Swiss headlight / marker light code) change over with the direction of travel, will work in conventional operation, and can be controlled digitally. When the locomotive is running "light" the lighting can be changed to 1 red marker light. The locomotive has highly detailed metal construction with many separately applied details. The locomotive body comes in 3 parts with hoods that swing out separately. The roof equipment is detailed with safety grills beneath the pantographs.

Length over the buffers 22.3 cm / 8-3/4".

Charlie's Tips:

The pantographs on the crocodile are locked in the down position by two tabs, one on each side. These tabs fit in a small slot. To raise (unlock) the pantographs, you have to push the pantograph sideways. In the last two pictures I point at the tab and slot with the blue pen.

This model can be found in a DC version in the Trix H0 assortment under item number 25595.
