The direction-dependent light change in white and red is implemented using modern LED technology.
Design and equipment: prototypical and versatile
The locomotive has true-to-original lettering and paintwork that corresponds to Era III. The aerodynamic design of the body and the finely detailed bogies make the model a real eye-catcher. The PluX22 interface makes it easy to retrofit a decoder, and the tidy circuit board offers space for the installation of a large loudspeaker.
