I've heard only good things about these locomotives. My only critisism is in the choice of prototype. There are already several manufacturers offering these giant articulated locomotives, even though they are totally unsuitable for the vast majority of home layouts. Small to medium locomotives are far more useful to the serious layout builder, and there are still several gaps in availability. In the hopes that manufacturers will read this, here goes: * A decent 2-6-0 (Sorry, but I don't count the IHC offering because it won't run on code 70 or 55 rail. * A fast, high-drivered, 4-6-0 (the Spectrum 4-6-0 is a good mixed trafic locomotive, but not ideal for fast passenger on a small railroad) * A heavy 2-8-2 * A chunky 2-10-0 * Light and heavy 2-10-2's I've deliberately not suggested any specific prototype for any of these. As a freelance modeller, I don't really care, so I'll leave it up to the manufacturer to determine which prototypes would have the widest appeal.
