Wow; So where is the line in the sand to be drawn. If we can't discuss converted AF to scale, can we talk about the earlier "scale" wood kits that represent steel cars but have no rivet detail? Or should we only speak about stuff manufactured since AM and SHS came on the scene? Maybe the early production AM doesn't measure up...
I seem to recall a guy named Ed who converted a bunch of AF heavyweight passenger cars to scale. He even had a funny story about being chased up the driveway by the collector he bought the cars from when he mentioned his intention to convert them. Another fellow named "Karnes" has these electric locos converted from AF PA and en even caboose bodies. Guess he can't talk about them here either. Pieter E.
