The diesel locomotive is equipped with drive over 3 axles, which ensures high tractive power, and the metal wheel sets guarantee safe current consumption and smooth running.

The locomotive has pantographs on the wheel bearings to ensure a reliable power supply. Another special feature is the remote-controlled coupler, which makes shunting and coupling on the layout easier. A screw coupling can also be retrofitted to further individualize the locomotive. Spring buffers and constant light provide additional authenticity and increase the longevity of the model.
