Relevant photo I took yesterday of my new Railking Scale Metra F40PH next to a Premier PS2 Amtrak F40PH:
The shells are sized almost identically but there's a number of add-on details on the premier version that the Railking version is lacking (as expected) - notably:
- See-through radiator screens and spinning fans
- Windshield wipers
- Marker Lights
- Add-on steps
- Nose ladder hand rails
As noted in posts above, the value for money is pretty great and with a bit of careful paint work, the Railking Scale F40 can be brought pretty close to the premier version
