Tinplate Art posted:Of course, my good friend Fred is NOT a "plastic lump" guy, but rather a METAL fan, and that is OK, since I am also a big time MTH and Lionel standard gauge fan! I have had my share of METAL live steam and even once owned the famous LCT BRUTE and its HUGE Showroom Car consist, so I can appreciate METAL trains. But I also love LGB, and have been a fan since 1978. To each his/her own. ☺
I do like and have lots of plastic trains, also by PIKO like this H0 gauge Baureihe 01.5:
It is a matter of taste, but the PIKO G stuff I just do not like; maybe it is the wrong gauge/scale combination, but they just do not look right to me. I assume they run good and are well made, so I hope you enjoy. It would be very dull when we all liked the same trains
