• Separately applied wheel imitations.
• Digitally controlled cab and engine room lighting.
• Separately controlled startup lamp in digital operation.
• mfx+ digital decoder with extensive operation and sound functions.
• Metal frame and locomotive body.

Model: The locomotive has an mfx+ digital decoder and extensive sound functions. It also has controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel, centrally mounted. 2 axles powered in each truck and driven by cardan shafts. Traction tires. The triple headlights and dual red marker lights change over with the direction of travel and can be controlled digitally. The headlights at Locomotive End 2 and 1 can be turned off separately in digital operation. There is a double A light function. Cab lighting changes over with the direction of travel. It and the engine room lighting can be controlled digitally. A buffer capacitor is included. A startup lamp also changes with the direction of travel and can be controlled digitally. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. The roof equipment is modelled in detail and the locomotive has single-arm pantographs as new tooling. The pantographs can be raised and lowered digitally. There are many separately applied parts such as wheel imitations, grab irons, sand boxes, UIC plugs, and roof conductors. The buffer height adheres to the NEM. Brake lines, prototype couplers, and various sockets are included as parts for separate installation on the locomotive. Length over the buffers approximately 22.4 cm / 8-13/16.
