Hi all,
Interesting comments recently on underbody details. So I will chime in with
my thoughts. All the pictures I've seen, and all the layouts I've been to,
have been of trains running on tracks, and mostly viewed from slightly above
the tracks. What's under "the skirt" is not seen. Unlike car shows, we don't
usually display our railroad cars with mirrors under them to show off the
details. While it is definately a challenge, and fun for many, to
super-detail the underside of a car, unless you're going to model a wreck
with a car on it's side, who's ever going to see it??
I'm not "disin'" those who do so, I admire the attention to detail, the
research, and resourcefullness of those that do take the time to do all that
fine work. I just think that a mass-produced, RTR car really doesn't need
all that stuff to be a presentable model to run on a layout.
Yeah, I'll probably never be a rivet counter! :)
Now where's my shovel and those bomb-shelter plans??
S'
