Three new acquisitions: two FS locomotives and one SNCF for NightJet night trains.
First FS locomotive: E.402
This is for my Intercity Notte composition. This is the video that triggered my interest, since it is a night train from Rome to Syracuse in Silicy. The train actually goes on a ferry!

As you can see on the video and the picture, there is an engine on each end of the formation. Here's my first E.402 engine - ACME 69388:
I'm having an issue with the sound of the decoder. It seems that it's a simple diesel sound, nowhere close to all the functions mentioned in the manual. At the same time, they mention a simple and complex mode, so I need to look more into it. For now, I gave it address #4021:
Second FS locomotive: E.656
This is for several train compositions:
- EuroCity 54/55 "Raffaello" Rome - Zurich
- EuroCity 70/71 "Colosseum" Roma Termini - Frankfurt(M) Hbf
- EuroNight 313/314 "Roma" Basel SBB - Roma Termini
- InterCity 242/243 "Drava"
and I'm sure many more ...
This is ACME 69396:
I gave it address #6562:
BR 185 for NightJet night trains
I reserved this one a while back to go with the NightJet night trains from LS Models.

This is Roco 7510053:
For some reasons, I didn't manage to configure the address with JMRI as I usually do, so it is still set for #3 as of now.
