Engineer-Joe posted:The MTH Allegheny release was almost enough to tip the scales and send me back to HO scale. If my vision and hand dexterity skills were better, I would have stayed there. I admire a lot of what I see in HO. It's harder to look back at HO after seeing the big ones.
I like most any Allegheny I see!
I agree, seem to prefer the 1:32 scale or larger engines now, much easier to see. Big on cab detail now.
The Roster:
Three truck Shay brass, weathered 1:24 scale (lights and seuthe smoke) Iron Horse hobbies importer. Manufacturer name escapes me at the moment
Berlyn locomotives works K-37 (massive engine) 1:20 Scale (DC, sound and synchronized smoke added) Phoenix sound system failed the second time I ran it on rollers. Mike Regan of Train America Studios added new sound and smoke system
