Lighting
These cars have built-in LED lighting that has been
installed at the factory. This LED lighting consumes
very little power and is therefore suitable for digital
or Delta operation. 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 therefore 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 signal set for stop, if these cars are
in the train.
These cars can be used with the 72441/72442 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!
