Hi Ed, It would be better because the manufacturer would be focusing on the
performance and scale aspects of it instead of on the toy train aspects of it.
It would have slow speed gearing for a more useful speed range. It would have
body mounted pilot, couplers, and steps, it could have brass sprung trucks, it
would have enclosed , rugged, easily repairable gear train using easy to get
replacement parts, it would have an NMRA DCC plug, and scale wheels.
It wouldn't have crew talk or bullet train speed
( unless it actually a model of the bullet train)
It would show a commitment to advancing the hobby of model railroading more
than the hobby of toy train running and collecting. It would give us something
we could buy and use without spending more to modify it for scale use while
still giving the toy train guys a nice loco that would teach them about scale
modeling. The design of the SHS switcher was a great example of what I'm
talking about, it had all the compromises in the right spot, scale over toy but
worked with either.....DaveBranum
