The model features a number of details typical of the J13 class, including a cast tapered chimney, pop-type safety valves and a short dome. It also boasts parallel buffers, a pole-type front step and four handrail knobs.

The locomotive is DCC ready, featuring a can motor, flywheel and plunger pickups for reliable operation. The model is also equipped with sprung buffers and a detailed cab interior. The firebox is highlighted with a glow effect, and a factory-fitted speaker is included for sound. The model can be fitted with optional scale couplings and features a diecast chassis block. A Next18 decoder socket is also provided for easy DCC installation.
