Dave, how much authenticity are you seeking to achieve? Dead-on accuracy to preclude criticism of any hyper rivet-counter, or a visual representation to enjoy as it moves around your layout? <br /> <br />If the former, yeah, avoid the IHC-Rivarossi genre. If the latter, then the IHC and Riv cars can be found in abundance on ebay. Even then, they greatly improve with some serious detailing, conversion to body mounted couplers, light weathering. <br /> <br />I mention body mounted couplers when I have both types. But my cars have been weighted and I have no issues with a prototypical speed backing move. Generally though, body mounted is considered better.
