Model: The locomotive has a digital decoder for DCC, Selectrix, and conventional operation with automatic system recognition. The locomotive can also be run conventionally. It has a special can motor. 4 axles powered through cardan shafts. 2 traction tires. The headlights change over with the direction of travel. They are maintenance-free LED's that will work in conventional operation and that can be controlled digitally. The direct control (acceleration and braking delay) can be controlled with DCC, Selectrix, or with Trix Systems. The locomotive comes with 4 pantographs that can be raised and lowered manually (they are not wired to take power from the catenary). The locomotive has close coupler pockets in NEM pockets at both ends. Length over the buffers 217 mm / 8-1/2".

Prototype information
TRAXX in Black. Mitsui Rail Capital Europe is new subsidiary of the Japanese international company Mitsui & Co. MRCE finances and leases freight cars and increasingly modern locomotives too. Customers of MRCE are transportation firms running fast, safe transport with cross-border trains all over Europe. MRCE is betting on the TRAXX family of multiple-current system locomotives for this. These locomotives are technically very much like the class 185, and they are authorized for use on the most important European railroads. The striking black paint scheme for these units conveys technical esthetics, emphasizes practicality, and promises appropriate performance. The fleet is quite current: 16 of these new "Knight Riders" are already in service, and additional locomotives have been ordered from Bombardier (status as of the middle of 2006).
