Quite easy to do here as you can simply plug white 3 mm LED in the socket and add a 1 k 1/4 W resistor in series Also if you used an ESU decoder, there is a setting for Mars lights. Very realistic too And a super-sound set up that is very close to what you can hear on the real thing like running on idle, dynamic brakes, "run 8" , etc.

There are also schemes with two motors loaded into one decoder if you want the multiple lotor sound without installing multiple decoders. Not sure if they have done this for an F7, but there is certainly a sound scheme using FT that will suit an F7. I have a 3649 (digital version of same loco) that I want to put one of these in.
