looks attractive, has 2 rubber tyres, will increase it to 4, headlights, markerlight front & rear, interior lights front & REAR, lit destination sign front & rear., added sound decoder (V 5.0 = PLUX22) and a round speaker fits nicely into the provided space., soldered a wire to the pantograph supporting arm, drilled a small hole into the housing and conneted the wire, now its ready for catenary operation.
the model overall looks good, the details are superb |

I've added the highbeam to the fron light circuit board, a bit fiddly, had to file out the window to be able to fit the led into it and the second task was to alight them to the window, I was able to scrape off the protective film of the copper wire (+) and the (-) I've added a copper wire and connected it with 2 resistors to Aux 7, first the lights were much to bright so I've reduced it to 1`. I've only attached the high beam to the front of the loco    |

If the one with sound insrtalled is nearly the same price as a Marklin, if the Marklin has long distance headlights, thats a plus.

At this point, with Maerklin conceding on the Vectron, we should put pressure on them to put out more non-Hobby models of the Traxx locomotives too.
My two cents worth.
