From: Alan Lambert Fort Worth, Texas Dave, I agree with you. My SHS cars look good to me and better than what we had(got) from AC gilbert back then. John wants it to be picture perfect with every detail . Think of the cost of the tooling needed to get (all) of the small detail parts cast. Most companies use what tooling they have and make do with what they have. We need to give our scale a break and wait and see what is on the horizon. Best idea I have is if you want fine detail for your rolling stock makum yourself in lots of more than 100. Some of us don't have money available at the time to order within the 100 kit range Alan Lambert
