Composing is so bad the last few days...sigh....take #3; roll it...
Page #2 of that Rivarossi thread now has a video of how slow it can run. And with a decent load too. Mind you, this is a model kit, much like a static 1:24 model car kit. I imagine the factory assembled ones may look even better? I know if I built this 15-20 years ago it would be better.

I know it isn't in hand, but what is metal and what isn't? Can you tell?
No detail?!! I'm near ready to change my name to Count DeRivetz 
This is the best mock up look I tried out imo. NYC looking? I didn't try for it.
I broke a post for the valve gear...a metal post.
In fairness I also broke a line in plastic. Engineer side near the cab, a straw over the break. Not easily noticed, Ill get to it.
Nothing has broke while being handled for running, oiling, etc. I didn't even use a cradle. 2 years old now, run very often.
I can repair the plastic line easy. But the metal post will take a #2 screw or smaller to repair the valve gear. So, easier to repair most detail "crunches" is another benefit of plastics ....at times. Delrin detail and the line wouldn't be broken.
The onion stack doesn't belong (mock ups),that #4 on the boiler didn't cut it. Neither did the can't graphic decal that replaced the aged to a crackle 382 decals. Remember, the camera is ruthless in revealing even the smallest flaws. Things always look better in person. Dull coat it and the plastic shine is history. (The onion stack is the top of a doll house oil lamp)
