I go along with Andrew and Jim.
My poor experience, which I had with a particular company, who usually produces great representations of prototype locomotives and freight cars, recently produced items which had the wrong type doors, door sizes and doorway sizes, which were different from the company's color stock photos. and the same prototype freight cars, which to me seemed to be a bait and switch.
Also, photos. of the actual freight cars show particular 'Built' and 'Repacked' dates similar as modeled on the 1:48 scale size cars, with the wrong doors, etc., even though these were the companies mid. range items, with mid. range prices, the scale models still should have been representative of the prototype, as this company's past products of the same mid range type item and mid. range prices, were produced either spot on, or near spot on.
Who knows who manufactured these WRONG DOOR 1:48 scale size models, for this particular company.
I told a company representative of the doors on these newer products, as compared to their older products, which he took into consideration without any excuses.
In this company's 2015 catalog, another new type of mid. range, mid. priced box car has wrong doors, with wrong door sizes.
I ate this loss, but these inaccuracies are is going to cause customers to return such items and both the hobby shop and the company will be overstocked and gain a poor reputation.
That's my TWO CENTS!
RIGHT, WRONG AND INDIFFERENT!
