@Dave NYC Hudson PRR K4 posted:That is exactly my point though Pat. The old days they actually ran stuff into the ground until it broke. I think that nowadays they see if things run for a little bit. Sure when Dave Olson gets a sample in the shops, he tests it out, but that isn't the final product either. I am sure he does the usual stuff to see if it works correctly, and if there is anything wrong, brings the spotlight on it. Back at the factory is where they should thoroughly test stuff out to see if it explodes. But of course, those days are gone.
Anyway, moving on, what are we working towards, fixing things so they are better than the original, right, right.
Build it better than they did …..😉
