There is no such thing as "German" DCC. DCC was developed by the German company Lenz and has become NMRA standard. Trix locos of today are fully compatible with any DCC control you may use. Years ago Trix had their own system called "selectrix", which was not fully compatible, but that´s history in the meantime. For other locos of German prototype, you may want to take a look at Roco or Fleischmann (now owned by Roco). Both have a fine range of Diesel and electric locos of German prototype. As with Trix, they are not at all cheap, though. A cheaper alternative may be Piko, who also run a line of "bargain" locos of modern outline. Roco´s and Fleischmann´s products can be viewed <a target="_blank" href="http://www.roco.com/products.aspx">here</a>, Piko´s products can be viewed <a target="_blank" href="http://www.piko.de/produkt_db/check.php?page=shop&grand_id=3&parent_id=4&child_id=1">here</a> There is one issue to remember. European locos have wheels, which do not necessarily follow NMRA RP25, so their flanges are a little deeper. Some of them may be able to run on code 83 rail and smaller, but to be on the safe side, you will need code 100 rail.
