There are a full array of lighting functions including interior, cab, directional with day and night modes, back-lit destination panels and door interlock lights. There are also switches fitted on underframe for non-DCC users to control the lighting functions.
Each car features full interior detail including etched luggage racks decorated in appropriate colour schemes for each livery/era.
There is an easy access DCC decoder fitting (Plux22) decoder socket located under a clip-fit panel on the underframe. Conductive close-coupling between cars means just one decoder is required.
