The Trix company represented a largely informal partnership between the Bing brothers and their staff (who were finding it increasingly difficult to operate in Germany is the build-up to WW2) and Bassett-Lowke, their main UK distributor, in producing new, smaller train sets for the emerging 00-gauge market. Trix included ideas from both companies' personnel - Bassett-Lowke was credited with coming up with the branding "Trix Twin" as a snappier alternative to the original "Twin Train" for the UK market, and for a while, trains were produced with combinations of both names.

Production moved to a UK factory used by Bassett-Lowke after the Bings finally fled Nazi Germany.

Trix are associated with two main product lines, Trix Express and Trix Twin.

Trix Twin Railway (TTR) was a system that allowed independent control of two separate locomotives on a single common laout using three-rail track and two separate controllers. The two outer rails were used as separate independent power lines, and the centre rail was "common".
