UPDATE---
Here's the NYC F3's stretched out in all their HiRail glory:

Just curious but what percentage of the intended buyers of these beauties will be 'American Flyer high-railers running them on tight curves?

Just look at that gap! I wonder when the manufacturers will begin to package these with close couplers, scale pilots (I thought the lead A unit was pushing a handcar or something in the photo below) and the like installed? The huge AF couplers and extended couplers can be included to be installed if desired.. It's like Lionel (especially) marketing their full-scale steamers with tiny pilot wheels...

I would think that an increasing number of buyers are more scale minded and should be the default audience!
