TT Scale. The Ideal Scale.

Ok, the first thing about this loc is, it is absolutely tiny!!!! In fact it's down right adorable.
Comes in a clear plastic box.
No lighting.
Two axles driven, two axle electrical pickup, no traction tires.
Given smallness / lightness of this model there is no real traction to speak of. So, you will only be able to pull several small wagons for shunting. That however, is not a terrible thing since it would be true to the prototype.
Comes with Tillig type couplers.
Very good detail and very good paint. The fact that the cab is "empty" (no motor to be seen) is phenomenal given the size of this model.
Mechanically very good which is surprising given that there is no flywheel. It's very smooth and quiet.
The only issue with this model will actually be your tracks. Due to the tiny foot print, it will have problems with electrical pickup especially on switches. You can use it as a gauge for the quality of your electrical work
The manual is one page in German mainly showing the parts and assembly with very little text.
As for DCC, you COULD fit a chip. But, it would have to go in the currently empty cab and will be easily visible. You would also have to do all required wiring.
To really appreciate the size of this model, I've included pictures next to a V36 (which is already very small).

according to the latest Continental Modeller this model has been re-released.

Yup - in whole bunch of different paint variants.
