Sorry Rusty, I disagree.
Des Plains Hobbies to me is just not comparable with American Models, MTH, and Lionel. For Scale Guys they are, but to most of the market (85%) who are hi Rail, they are not a player. I chose to look at what the major players had that while not the latest rolling stock being produced you could still see on the tracks and being used.
Since I wrote the article I got to make that decison.
