Nice conversion, a few German Locomotives went to varying italian NG Systems, your conversion of 6001 has certainly captured the Look and Feel of Such a beast. Of interest in the Middleton Press book of Sardinia and Sicilly there are other LGB Models that could be used for these Italian Lines, namely the Swiss Tank Heidi and the 0-6-0 Rack Tank as well. Repainted LGB Stock also has many uses in this context too.
Look forward to some more of your work.
Finally what Sound Chip did you use in your former 6001 please?
