@Ted S posted:I know the Stainz has come to symbolize LGB. But do you think they would have achieved greater market penetration in the US if they had standardized on the all-black and more modern 2076D, or even an American prototype? They certainly sold a lot of Moguls!
Seems to me LGB had pretty good market penetration in the US. I picked up my first catalog at La Grange Hobbies (IL) in 1977 or 1978.
Besides, the 2015D wasn't all that hard to "Americanize."
