LOL nice one Joe. I have to agree that "Some" rivet counters are a royal
pain in the A*** as you call it BUT you are talking about attacking a fairly
decent model with stuff that could damage it. I am not that competent a
modeller (or have the confidence) to possibly wreck a model. How much effort
would it take them to just add another 15% to getting it right? I would say
that some British modellers even then go about adding or stripping bits off,
but at least the loco is 95% correct before they start. Thereby keeping more
of the modelling fraternity happy
I do agree that the Canadian market for loco's is maybe smaller but there is
a good group of people this side of the water modelling Canadian and world
wide the should be others. I feel it is more the attitude of "It will do"
towards us.
Saying that at the end of the day for me, who might not notice that it
should have different horns if it is a matter of I will miss out on a loco I
will probably buy one.
Must admit I would love to get inside one of the manufactures and find out
what the profit margin is and what the real research is. Has anyone email
then to tell them what we think of their new loco, or even offered help?
Chris
