PRRHORESHOECURVE: "Also note this loco is a RAILKING scale loco as opposed to a Premier loco. For what you paid and the features you got on this loco, you received a bargain!"
I would think the same shells from the RAILKING line get applied to a Premier locomotive. So, if that's the case, do the imperfections on these locomotive bodies then become an issue because someone paid more for the Premier locomotive?
I don't know what the OP paid for his, but, I found one with a price of $330 dollars. I know $330 dollars is pocket change for some, but, for others it can be a major purchase. I think for that amount, it better be without the imperfections seen on the OP photographs.
I was in HO years ago and painted a lot of my locomotives and rolling stock because what I wanted you couldn't buy. I was pretty tough on myself when it came to my own QC. That paint job on that FP45 wouldn't have made the cut, period.
