I never really understood people who look for perfection and accuracy in this hobby.
I wish everyone would enjoy their trains while they still can and not worry about even the smallest amount of inaccuracy.

I agree with these sentiments, for the most part, but a lot of the "errors" seem to just be due to sloppy or minimal research. For example, I had pre-ordered the Lionel Wabash E8 AA set. But it came with white numbers on the nose (should be gold), blue ends (should be gray), among other easily discoverable errors that could have been found in 10 minutes using a Google image search. The bigger problem was the wrong nose shape on the E8/E9 mold, but that is a more subjective problem, at least.
