The IC livery and the assignment to DB AG make this locomotive an eye-catcher in modern railroad operations in Era VI. The model realization takes into account all the characteristic designs and details of this forward-looking traction.

The factory-fitted PluX22 sound decoder guarantees realistic sound effects. The engine room, cab and cab lighting can also be controlled digitally. The model has the "fits mfx®" seal of approval and is therefore fully compatible with Märklin digital control centers.
