"""Would a big, honkin' open hole in the pilot like old Flyer be preferable?"""
Certainly easy to fix!
Rich, I think we're talking about Lionels philosophy on building model trains
rather than the specific U-33.
A swinging pilot on an "S" gauge/scale locomotive in 2011 is a joke and a step
backwards. AM doesn't require it....SHS doesn't require it....MTH in O scale
offers fixed pilots for 3R buyers. The 3R O gauge crowd is demanding more scale
like locomotives and cars and MTH is answering the call while Lionel continues
to put out 50's style rolling stock and locomotive.
I don't know if their engineering department is too stupid to see the light or
they choose to ignore it...but I think it is the latter and that really &^%$*#
me off. I have ZERO respect for Lionel.
