LCCA Switcher Pair WOW!!!

Did some rivet counter come up with the stupid term "fantasy" when it comes to trains.  I can see the Alien train or some futuristic set fit into the term fantasy, but not a this set. 

To release a beautiful locomotive which, as I see it, represents a famous railroad name should come under a better term of "legacy", "heritage", or "in honor of".  Like Lou stated, we are PLAYING with TOY TRAINS for gosh sakes.

This Texas Special locomotive set is a real eye catcher, something I want when I have guest's over to see and run on my layout.  These are the trains they are going to remember.

I agree totally it is a gorgeous scheme. But since tooling will need to be paid for, offering this locomotive set sometime in the future with a prototypical scheme for the cow/calf set certainly would be a good seller also.

just so you know i did some reasearch. many railroads in an effort to save money did convert some of these loco's to bloomberg trucks. if they had a geep unit that was in a bad way and had say a NW with bad trucks it saved the RR lots of money to use what they had. do some reasearch and you'll see.

thanks

ps i said if this was going to be a 100% scale down to the rivet model I would have made it a point to put oem trucks on it. we have a TOY TRAIN here.

So, a DC motor, apparently? That's a first in one of these switchers, isn't it? Means you can add ERR Cruise Control if desired, too.
