This is a revised model whose chassis with a main frame and loco body are constructed of metal. The model has an mfx digital decoder with 31 functions. It also has a programmable buffer capacitor. All axles are powered. The model has extensive sound functions. It can be operated with AC, DC, Märklin Digital, and DCC. A centrally mounted high-performance motor powers all axles. The motorized prototypical type SBS 10 scissor pantograph with a type DBS 54 slipper can be raised and lowered in digital operation. The white triple headlights with LEDs change over to red marker lights and are digitally controllable. The cab has warm-white LED lighting. The cab doors can be opened, the cab interior details are elaborately reproduced, and the cab has an locomotive engineer figure. The locomotive has metal grab irons and many other separately applied details, such as signs, windshield wipers, a whistle, a bell, etc. The buffer beams have sprung buffers and separately applied brake lines. The factory-installed knuckle couplers can be replaced with the two screw couplers provided. Remote-controlled Telex couplers are fitted at the front and rear. The minimum radius for operation is 1,020 mm / 40-3/16". Length over the buffers 35 cm / 13-3/4". Weight approx. 3.6 kg / 7 lb 14 oz.

Lubricate the model before its first run as instructed. Never raise the servo-driven pantograph by hand; it may be lowered by hand for packing.

With the supplied screw couplers, curves must have radii greater than 2,320 mm; the 1,020 mm minimum applies to the intended basic configuration. Unplug the Telex cable at the locomotive when changing couplers. An interchangeable air tank is included for use only with the screw coupler.

High power demand limits operation with Mobile Station 60652/60653/60657. Analog operation provides only running and direction-dependent lighting. DC is disabled at the factory: to enable it, switch CV 27 bits 4 and 5 off and CV 50 bit 1 on, following the manual.

Factory settings: name E 60 10, Motorola address 60 and DCC address 3. Designed for Märklin 1 track; the manual normally recommends grades no steeper than 3%, with gradual transitions. For display case 59961, use the locomotive’s original mounting bolts and the case’s No. 10 washers.

Source differences: the original pictogram specifies two headlights, while the model description specifies three white headlights. The controller chart lists the rear Telex twice; the specific manual distinguishes rear F4 and front F12. These sources are shown separately. F2 includes random sounds. Documented keys are F0–F30, not inferred from controller-chart row order.
