Hi all,
wow, what a discussion!!! Compare the old models with a china drive, crude handrails an less details. For those models i have spend xx dollars for detail parts, so the Sunset have most on it. I have had the hope, to get for this price a reasonable model. A (also older) brass model is out of sight for me, those have tank drive trains, a little better then the china drive, but not as i used in H0.
When i read the postings, so should i only buy engines, that run famous trains? I havn`t the basement to do this in an good manor. Or should i buy engines, that i only know from book, like Pennsy etc? So, i`am end 40th, for me is a SD40 a good engine, covers my interests. The announced Atlas SD 40 is also ordered, but who knows, when it will delivers.
I go confirm even with a ES44 or SD70 ACE or some other engines, they will work for me.
My opinion, when 0 scale will have a futur, there should be modern stuff, otherwise you can see a slow downgoing of a scale. No actual models for the customers, no new customers will be reached for the hobby.
In H0 scale, manufacturer have understand this problem, many modern and today`s models are available, most of the sold out fast.
So i can understand those guys, who wrote here, to have more focus on H0 scale, cause there they got the stuff, the waiting for in 0 ( and did´t get it)
thanks
kindest regards
Elmar
