[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Bluebonnet - 71 It is true that everyone has there thing. Some want there cars/locos not touched. While others like to skate on the edge and make it as real as anything. [bow] Myself I reather by new looking plastic then weather it myself unless I know who weathered the plastic then I would buy it. Now Capt. [4:-)] is doing a great job as I have been watching his progress. To bad we can not just upload our photos. [2c] [/quote] Yes, I know a lot of LGBers that don;t weather their stuff, they like it shiny and toylike. But a aged LGB model really looks like its prototype (esp. the steam engines) I guess there is still that "collector's value" philosophy with lots of GR users still cling to--the idea that a shiny new car outsells a aged one. I can't really discount an aged model if its done right, ie., good light weathering paint job, so I would consider paying MORE for a weathered model in some cases. I have seen some LGB forney locos with lots of weathering and I wouldn't mind paying MORE for the "beaten up" forney. Tom M.
