TRIX  75th Anniversary  Celebrations
In March 1935 the Trix Express system, with twin running and remote control, was presented to the public at the Leipzig Spring Fair. An advance from the Bing Table Top Railway which also used 16.5mm track, Trix was the only other 00 model railway at that time. The Trix celebration exhibition in Berlin featured many vintage layouts. See Berlin, March 2010 (75th Anniversary) and these TRIXSTADT website pages:
http://trixstadt.de/?page_id=5462 & http://trixstadt.de/?page_id=5464 & http://trixstadt.de/?page_id=5466

Also, a special range of wagon tarpaulins are being produced to mark the 75th Anniversary. Although they are designed for Trix Express wagons, they also fit the TTR 3-plank (LMS and BR).
