yes
one switch changes between track and overhead power-up for catenary adn you guessed it, down for track
the other is motor light control-0-1-2 as is the usual for LGB switches
0 1 2
off- lights only- light and motor
as for not going with anything but it looks cool-
i understand -did something similar recently with a 2/4 flatiron-'cos it looked cool
the croc IS a great loco
if i might
presuming its not been recently maintained
i strongly suggest that you take off the bottoms of the gear boxes (or i fear in your case they are calmshells-which isnt an issue-but mind the tiny thrust bearings, be patient, work on a soft towel to avoid bouncing bits, and avoid too much cafeine-they simply take longer and may take more than one attempt to properly re-assemble) , remove what is likely 'gelatinized' old grease and lube it with a high quality plastic compatible model teflon grease or LGB grease -and a bit of light plastic type oil on all of the whirly gear parts and where the axels enter the gear box-youd be surprised how this may improve operation
