Basically, the powerplant can be run in multiple modes: - Diesel engine only
- Electric motor only
- Support and buffer mode
- Diesel-electric mode
- Charging mode
The model allows you to manually engage/disengage the clutches. This allows you to be a proper engineering chief if your heart desires (no more simple speed requests!).

This model conforms to what I read in British Interrogation Report of captured U-boat crew. It allows a very flexible arrangement such as port diesel engine driving its generator dynamo, electricity generated is used to drive starboard electric motor, while starboard diesel engine is out of service. So both propeller is spinning.
