Technically, the locomotive is equipped with two powerful motors and a finely tuned gear ratio, which ensure excellent driving characteristics. The lighting is also detailed and offers a light change between white and red depending on the direction of travel, giving the model a pleasant atmosphere even in the dark. The model is also prepared for retrofitting a PIKO sound decoder, which brings the characteristic sounds of the NOHAB to the model railway layout.
