@NYC 428 posted:I always pre order and have not been disappointed. I get what I want at a discounted price, but I'm also not a rivet counter and if something is a little off I don't get upset, after all, it is three rail "O" gauge.
Oh boy, there goes that excuse again.
If I were very concerned about exact detail, color and model type I would be modeling in "two rail scale" or HO.
Apparently, you've never seen some of the very realistic layouts/ modelling posted on this forum.
Maybe check out some of those OGR layout videos you have access to with your digital subscription.
Everyone wants museum quality models , but at five and dime prices and that's not going to happen.
$1000-$2000 is five and dime? Theres a Dollar General near me, but they don't sell anything there anywhere near $1000
So if your a person that is very particular then do yourself a favor and don't pre order, wait till the item is released and find a LHS where you can examine the finished product before you buy.
Good idea.
BTW, many of the mistakes Lionel has made, are things they did right on previous runs, especially colors.
There is absolutely no justification for a 4 wheel freight truck and coupler to have issues when they've been making them for over 100 years.
