This is a finely detailed model of heavy metal construction with many separately applied details. The mechanism has a high-performance motor, all driving wheels powered using side rods. Real rack railroad operation is possible with the LGB 10210 racks. The doors to the cab and the smoke box can be opened. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era VI, just as the locomotive currently looks. The locomotive has an mfx/DCC decoder with many light and sound functions such as headlights, cab lighting, running sounds, a whistle activated by reed switches, and much more. The running sounds will also work in analog operation. There is a built-in smoke generator with steam exhaust synchronized to the wheels as well as cylinder steam, steam at the exhaust of the vacuum brakes, and steam exhaust at the whistle, when the latter is activated. Length over the buffers 40 cm / 15-3/4". Find more LGB explanation videos on our YouTube Channel. Spare parts for our articles can be found here in our spare parts search.
