Lighting
These cars have built-in LED lighting that has been instal-
led at the factory. This LED lighting consumes very little
power and is therefore suitable for digital or Delta opera-
tion. In conventional operation (AC or DC power) this
lighting does not begin to work until the cars are being
pulled at fairly high speeds by a locomotive.
Important:
All of the wheel sets on these cars are used for providing
power to the ligths. The wheels for both trucks are there-
fore electrically connected with each other. Insulated
track joints (for signal blocks, etc.) will be bridged by
these trucks. It may happen that a train will run through a
signal block, where the power has been shut off by a sig-
nal set for stop, if these cars are in the train.
These cars can be used with the 72441 brake module
only if the first transition area is the length of the
entire train (!), not the length of the longest loco-
motive. A transition area that is too short may lead to
the destruction of the Control-Unit!
