To my eyes this is a Swiss beauty (made by Kiss):

Of note is that Kiss also announced the DFB engine months ago. Now LGB and Kiss are having a war online over who decided to make the engine first, who will deliver first, and of course, whose will be best. Both engines are in the same price range - almost 4K Euros. By making limited run metal models of Swiss engines LGB is stepping on turf owned by Kiss.
Is this a Gauge 1 locomotive

That rack loco definitely takes the detail prize, but if I could only afford one, it would be the tender lok. BOTH are jewels and Kiss did an excellent job with these models.
What is a rack locomotive, thank you

A rack locomotive is another name for a cog railroad locomotive, like the Mount Washington Cog Railway.
