I had been eyeing a couple of the new MTH Rio Grande F3s for a while (this one and this one, to be exact). After seeing the real thing again earlier this year at the Colorado Railroad Museum, I figured I really did need them! Unlike some of my previous engines, though, this time I decided to take the (mostly) easy way out and just order the 2-rail version with the fixed pilots.
I have to say, I think MTH really did a fantastic job with these things. For starters, the bodies and trucks are both very nicely detailed, and the paint job is sharp:

Nobody else will ever notice, but I know it's there.

Those are nice, and you did some fine mods, but:

In the first paragraph you say you bought the "2 rail version"; yet these appear to be 3-rail, what with the center pick-up roller and all.

What am I missing here? I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question... confused
