The "flagships" that you see in these photos are the locomotives of the largest fleet of rolling stock "European" Megarails. I have purchased over the years for two reasons: I was always fascinated as a child, I have also known the truth, and I think they are in the various railway authorities, the most representative.
From left: DB 103, Arnold, produced in the late '90s; CC 6500 SNCF TEE in colors, of Minitrix, produced in 2003;
152 DB livery "Siemens", of minitrix, produced in 2004; FS E 444, Rivarossi of the old group (1975).

The operation of the three German-built locomotives is impeccable, but because "you do not give the" it should be obvious. surprising, but not too sweet and powerful running of the "Turtle" Rivarossi despite his age. It only takes a careful lubrication of the transmission to avoid overloading the engine too. Personally, I own other RR models, the Americans and with the engine mounted directly on a trolley, vertical, and in this case the operation is more "rude" than Italian, which has the shaft drive.
Aesthetically, the E 444 Como holds very well the impact over time. In fact, the CC 6500 French is very well finished, but the DB 152 is appreciated more for its march to the wealth of detail, partly because the real motive is the rather simple and without too many "ammenicoli" ... apart from the Speech DB 103: well done and the market you can not buy with a little 'luck, even below 100 €.
