The locomotive includes directional triple headlights with warm white LEDs, enhancing realism with reversible lighting. The set includes three authentic freight wagons—an Om 12 gondola, a Pwg 14 brake van and a Mönchshofbräu-branded wagon—and boasts a total train length of 544 mm (21?"). Track-wise, it arrives complete with C-Track: 12 curved (24130), 7 straight (24172), 5 long straight (24188), 2 large radius curves (24224), plus left and right turnouts — all forming an oval layout of approximately 90 × 47 cm.
