Kato HO scale EF58. I wasn't going to get this one, but I saw a video off a DCC sound installation and the challenge is on! I don't like the way it overhangs the track in corners.
With mini me.
The DCC sound install will provide headlamps, separate left and right tail lamps and a cab lamp on both ends.

Been a while since last posting here.
Kato n-scale C11 190 arrived yesterday
.
Tackled all the small stuff that needed to be added and coupled her up to the Royal Coach. The flags are only flown when the Emperor is onboard.
The flags hook onto the the handrails and have to be removed when stowing the loco back into the box.

Here is a photo my wife took this morning of my two rescues. They’re a bonded pair. The little one is about 4 months old now and is just full of curiosity. She keeps everyone on their toes. The bigger one is about a year and a half old. She’s still has a lot of feral traits yet, but getting better. Both, surprisingly, leave the two 18 year old cats alone.

Just in, a Rapido 16XX Pannier Tank.
This thing is mostly metal and comes in at 256 grams. My Athearn Consolidation weighs 300 grams for reference.
It has the motion details inside the frames as this is an inside cylinder loco.
Cab details is good, but not as good as the newer stuff. Which is not bad considering this model came out in 2020-ish.
But it does have a firebox flicker.
Doing the run in on the rollers.

Nice! For these very large electric locomotives with hinged main frames, you need wide curves to make them look good.

I just made a bid and eventual purchase on a model which i passed long time ago; an Italian E444 "Super Turtle"-"Tartaruga" in 0 scale two rail.
This is an old Rivarossi product which unfortunately is not being made anymore. Back in 1960s-70s Rivarossi came out with a line of 0 scale (not to be confused with Lionel O gauge caricatures from that time). Items with scale length included long European prototype passenger coaches, a French Bo-Bo diesel, a few steam locomotives including an elusive German design BR80 0-6-0 tank. Most know about the Casey Jones 4-6-0 and a 0-8-0 switcher, but the European design rolling stock is kinda rare and difficult to find. When i was in Italy back in 1990s, i was hoping to see one of those E444s in original look, but i only saw E444R since the "Tartarugas" were mostly stationed in northern parts of the country at the time, and i just didn't get there. I'll take some pictures and post it here when the thing gets to my house.

Yeah, that's why I hesitated so long to get it. But then someone posted a video using the same size curves that I have (no, not my girlish figure!) and it didn't look too bad. Not like a Big Boy looks good going through switches.
