DRG E44 1940s German Electric Engine

The chassis feels solid and the roof detailing is crisp enough to look great on a layout. I’ve already started weathering mine for a gritty wartime look.

The detailing on the pantograph and roof insulators is crisp enough to make this look right at home next to my more expensive brass models. It’s a solid little workhorse for period-accurate electric operations on the main line.

Finally got this running on my layout and the detail on the overhead wire pickups is incredible—way more crisp than the usual molded blobs. The body itself feels solid with no flash lines to clean up, and it sits perfectly on the track without any wobble.
