Representing the 1,600-horsepower prototype, it features etched radiator fan details, cab windows, metal grab irons, and fine-scale handrails. The model is offered as a DCC-ready version with Quick Plug 21-pin NEM connector, and in sound-equipped variants that include a SoundTraxx Econami decoder and cube speaker for rich audio, with operation in both DC and DCC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eBuilt on a heavy die-cast frame with all-wheel drive and a 5-pole motor for smooth, quiet operation, it delivers reliable pulling power and current collection.

Prototypical paint schemes are accurately applied from extensive reference materials, with metal grab irons and fine-scale handrails completing the look.
