Matt Makens posted:Bob do you like the Key models better? On my list of locos I want is a set of PA's and a set of E6's. I just don't know enough about them to say I'll get this one or that one. I know if I get OMI models I will need to get the drive reworked I'm sure. but I'll have to check for accuracy as well. I have a ton of late photos of late PA's from 4 or 5 roads that I can compare to lost of Santa Fe and SP plus I do have snata fe E6 photos some where in the collection to. I'm thinking ill model transition era as this affords me the opportunity to run all the greats but I will have some modern because I grew up on modern. when I finally do get my models I will be relegated to running at the museum for a time until I decide what to do
Matt, Do yourself a favor and get PROTOTYPE photos of the stuff you want to buy. Study them and make your own decision because YOU are the guy you have to please. Most all of this stuff varies by BUILDER, and even locos within the same run can have slight differences because different individuals have worked on them. Goes with them being hand made. Beauty, as they say is in the eye of the beholder. Choose carefully.
Good Luck!
