Trix Express has a rich and distinguished history that dates back to 1935. The brand was founded in Nuremberg, Germany by brothers Siegfried and Julius Mayer, both passionate visionaries. In 1956, the brand expanded into international markets and achieved iconic status among model train collectors and enthusiasts. An interesting fact about Trix Express is its invention of the “DC system” for model railroading, enabling simpler wiring and more independent control of multiple trains. Despite several ups and downs and changes in ownership, Trix Express has sustained its magic and continues to captivate the imaginations of model train enthusiasts worldwide.
