Headlight, tender, and number boards illuminated with maintenance-free LED's. 2 smoke generators (Seuthe no. 11), can be retrofitted, contacts are always ready for operation. Headlights, number boards, and engineer's cab lighting will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. Speed-dependent steam locomotive sound effects, bell sound, whistle signal, squealing brakes, as well as acceleration and braking delay can be digitally controlled with the 6021 Control Unit or with the 60652 Mobile Station. Additional operating sound effects can be digitally controlled with the 60212 Central Station. Efficient speaker in the tender, adjustable volume. Coupler hooks at both ends can be inserted in the rail guard. Close coupling between locomotive and tender. Steam lines are hinge-mounted with the cylinders. Separately applied metal grab irons.

One-time series only available to

Additional Information:
- The locomotive can be used on
curved track with a radius of 360 mm / 14-3/16" or more,
however M鋜klin recommends larger radii. Due to the overhang of the long boiler, signals, catenary masts, bridge railings, tunnel portals, etc. must be installed for sufficient clearance on curves. The track must be well mounted due to the heavy weight of the locomotive. The locomotive can only be run through a turntable or transfer table.
