Model: This is a highly detailed, high-class professional model
constructed entirely of metal with completely new tooling. The
chassis and main frame are made of die-cast zinc and die-cast
brass, and the locomotive body is made of sheet brass. Separately
applied parts are made of centrifugally cast brass. The model has
an mfx digital decoder with 32 functions. It also has a
programmable buffer capacitor. The model has extensive light and
sound functions. A branded, hi-fi-grade loudspeaker in each loco
half guarantees optimum sound quality. The loco can be operated
with AC, DC, Märklin Digital, and DCC. Each loco half is fitted
with a centrally mounted Bühler high-performance motor that was
specially designed for this model and sends power to all axles! The
motorized prototypical scissor pantographs can be raised and
lowered in digital operation. The white triple headlights with LEDs
change over to Swiss white marker lights and are digitally
controllable. The Swiss oncoming train light can also be controlled
separately in digital operation. The loco has warm-white LED
lighting in the cab and in the machine room/corridor. The control
desks in the cabs are also illuminated. The cab doors can be
opened. The interiors of the cab and machine room are reproduced in
exceptional detail. The cab has a built-in engineer figure. The
locomotive has metal grab irons and many other separately applied
details, such as signs, windshield wipers, a whistle, etc. The
buffer beams have sprung buffers and separately applied brake
lines. The factory-installed, remote-controllable Telex coupler
fitted at the rear can be replaced with the screw couplers
provided. A prototypical screw coupler is fitted at the front. A
Telex coupler for the front is included with the model. The model
comes with a certificate of authenticity and a cast metal replica
of the works plate from the prototype. The minimum radius for
