Fair enough folks. I see there are several here who realize that it's not constructive to intentionally try to mislead beginners in the hobby. That would be those very beginners who are likely to be online more than us geriatrics. As to harmless, one might refer to any internet forum on "best locomotives". I have seen more Athearn-bashing than enough the last couple of years, particularly on another well-known forum. The bashing has often been cruel and vindictive. [:(] However, both reputation , common sense, ( and statistically proven popular opinion ) shows that Athearn still happens to be a GREAT entry-level, or better, locomotive line for beginners. Why try to turn beginners off for all the wrong reasons ?[:(!] For those who like the polls, fine, enjoy the fiction....but I invoke what I commonly refer to as the "Alan Ladd" principle. A person standing on a box to look you in the eye, may be many, many things........and all of them may be admirable things.........but no matter what that person may be, "tall" is not one of them.[:o)] regards Mike Old enough to remember Alan Ladd[:D]
