The Trix Minitrix Class 38 steam locomotive represents German State Railways locomotive 38 3341, one of the renowned former Prussian Class P 8 passenger locomotives. Introduced in 1906, the P 8 became one of Germany's most successful steam locomotive designs, earning a reputation for reliability and versatility on passenger and mixed-traffic services. Following the Second World War, many examples continued operating with the German State Railways as Class 38.10-40 during Epoch III. This model depicts locomotive 38 3341 fitted with three boiler domes and Witte smoke deflectors.
The locomotive and tender are constructed chiefly from die-cast metal and feature a factory-fitted mfx/DCC digital sound decoder, warm white LED lighting and a bell-shaped armature motor with flywheel for smooth and reliable operation.
