I don't deny the SHS SW's (and F's and 2-8-0's) are fine loco's, but
I wouldn't have gotten into S if it weren't for the AM FP-7. So, you
can blame AM for me being here.
Which begs the question, would there have BEEN an SHS if it weren't
for AM? Maybe, maybe not. Tough call, I can't seem to access the
space-time continuum to find out...
I also came up from HO and see nothing wrong with the "blue box"
mentality. Basic is good. And if the "blue boxes" weren't
successful, Athearn wouldn't still be making them.
I couldn't help but noticing in the MR 75th Anniversary issue, the
lead photographs in the farewell to the V&O article there's an old
Rivarossi (AHM) U25C heading up the train. Good way back when, basic
by today's standards for sure. Guess W. Allen McCelland wasn't much
of a model railroader...
