I will add to this thread simpler train models, for which it would not make sense to create a separate thread... They will mainly be trains from Slovakia and the Czech Republic, mostly in 1:87 scale...
The first is this locomotive:
ČKD T 458.1
Scale: 1:87 (approx. 1:60)

ČKD T 458.1 (today known as the 721 series) is a legendary diesel-electric shunting locomotive, which was produced by the Czech-Slovak company ČKD Praha between 1962 and 1971. In the railway world, thanks to its characteristic sound and reliability, it gained the iconic nickname "Big Hector"
Basic technical parameters:
Maximum speed: 80 km/h
Traction arrangement: Bo' Bo' (four driving axles)
Weight: 74 tons
Length over bumpers: 13.20 m
Internal combustion engine: six-cylinder ČKD 6 S 310 DR
Continuous power: 551 kW (750 hp)
Model:
This is a simple model. I printed the tracks on a 3D printer. Judging by the tracks, the scale is more like 1:60 than 1:87. You can download a model of a railway crossing on the Fifík website, so I'll try to put it all together and see what the result will be...
