Would a big, honkin' open hole in the pilot like old Flyer be preferable?
Don't forget, the bulk of the S market has a Flyer/Hirail/Tinplate(whatever you
want to call it) slant. AM had to put a slot in the pilots to accomodate this
larger segment of the S market.
Even the opening in the SHS F-units passenger pilots are oversized without
modifying the inserts in order to acomodate a Flyer compatible coupler.
Perhaps, we "scalers" should just e-mail Lionel and tell them not to bother
with us... Go away, we don't need or want you... After all, only we "scalers"
know how to truely model railroad...
I for one, am looking forward to the U33C. From what I've seen in photo's, it
looks to be a fine model, swinging pilots notwithstanding.
If you guys don't want them, there will be more for me!
