Hey, that photo makes the U33C look pretty good. I recommend a moratorium on further criticism until the item actually comes forth from its maker. Meanwhile back at the ranch, we could discuss modeling.

Elems To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 1:24 PM Subject: {S-Scale List} Lionel U33C Ok here is a link to a small picture of the U33C. The swinging steps are barely visible in this picture. Other than that it looks fine IMHO. A simple shim between the frame and steps should line up the coupler pockets. If it doesn't have scale wheels on the unit in the picture, the scale wheels will look very nice then. Lionel does have good paint job on their engines and the NP unit looks good to me. So not to stir up the bees nest on the subject but here is what they are offering. Just remember, AM models have issues that require work to bring up to scale standards. Even SHS pilots have bigger than necessary holes for the AF coupler. I will say that I have two coming and I think they are a very good starting point for the U33C, just as AM's U25B is a good starting point. http://lionelllc.files.wordpre...011/10/flyeru33c.jpg <http://lionelllc.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/flyeru33c.jpg> Greg in Reno, NV [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6548 (20111016) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6548 (20111016) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
