The locomotive has a built-in mfx/DCC decoder with a variety of light and sound functions that can be controlled digitally. It also has a built-in socket on the back of the locomotive to supply power from the decoder in the A unit to the speaker in the B unit to go with this locomotive. The locomotive has many separately applied details, and the cab doors can be opened.

The B unit to go with this locomotive is available under item number 21581, and another A unit with a different road number is available under item number 21580. A typical express train from Era IV – such as the famous "Sunset Limited" – can be made with the equally available new Amtrak cars.
