The reports suggest that not a single 345 is yet available with full

Nostalgia When I used to play with full sized trains, the only
signalling response equipment was a sensor underneath for the magnet
that controlled the brakes, and that could be overridden by the driver
easily enough. Some of the really new one had a pedal the driver had to
take his foot off when a horn sounded in the cab, or it applied the brakes.

Nowadays, they even seem to use GPS to tell the drivers they're in the
right place to open the doors, with no need for the "4", "6"h and "8"signs.
