That was a very nice looking layout. It reminds me of the trains I rode from Roma To Firenza last year.

 WOW! That's one heck of a collection!

It looks to me that the one large steam engine is a Mallet-type.  Very nice!

OK, even if it is not easy to "liquidate" the E 464 in two words ... these small locos have replaced E 646 and E 424 in regional service with shuttle trains, have a single cab and a small driving seat rear maneuver: they have 4 three-phase asynchronous motors for 3 MW of power input,, cooling water and it is present the electric regenerative braking and reostatica.
The head of the cab have the 'coupling automatically Schaefenberg, except that the first two units that have traditional coupling, the E 464 have a small luggage compartment, designed to "train and bike," but it.is little used.
The E 464 are currently under construction and will become the largest group of Trenitalia, are assembled at the ADtranz of Vado Ligure, the E 464 are in service since 1999 ..

Doctortreno ( one of the biggest italian model railroader) helped me in this answer.
