Bill (and others),
With all due respect, I think you're missing the point here. Some of us are
not picking nits but concerned with the basics of the model. Swinging pilots,
for example, are a non-starter for me. Sure, I can correct the issue but on a
$400 or $500 model why should I? Swinging pilots and exposed gearing are not
an issue in Z, N or HO. S is supposed to have all these advantage over these
other scales but we can even remove ourselves from design practices from the
1950's. It's a real issue when talking to modelers in other scales and trying
to attract them to S. They immediately point out to me they have better
designed/detailed models from MicroTrains/Kato/Athearn Genesis/Proto 2000/and
on and on... So before we even get to the nits, we need to pick our
manufactures about the raw basics of their models. It's 2012 after all not
1950. We can and do expect better.
