As my collection has a Flying Scotsman that looks like this ....
Its pretty obvious I have no place in this thread nor will ever be a rivet counter ....
Now that being said I think for ANYONE releasing a "serious" model train and charging many $1,000's , Even I would expect it to be somewhat "Similar" to what it is purporting to be LOL!
I think here in Australia we would describe it as " Taking the p.i.s.s. "
But each to their own , its a fine looking combo in its own right , and probably would have been better served marketing it as "The End of the Line Special "
But regardless, if you love it you would buy it, if you dont, you wont Either way, as long as you are enjoying what you do , what's the harm ?
