the locomotive is running "light". The oncoming train light can be
controlled separately in digital operation. The headlights at
Locomotive Ends 2 and 1 can be turned off separately in digital
operation. When the headlights are off at both ends, the double "A"
light function is on at both ends. There is also cab lighting and
engine room lighting, which can each be controlled separately in
digital operation. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are
used for the lighting. The locomotive has highly detailed metal
construction with many separately applied details such as cooling
pipes for transformer oil. The cabs and engine room are modelled.
