I'm one of those who isn't overly concerned about fakes. I can live with them. Perhaps that's because I'm also a toy train guy. My advice to those who are opposed to them is simple: if you don't like them, don't buy them. Not all trains have to be perfect scale models, some are just for fun. We all have our own tastes. I would question the Santa fe GG1, but when I think about it, I guess one would kind of look sharp. I'd muvh sooner buy a Pennsy one, though! <br /> <br />Some other examples that I can add to this list are foreign trains in North American paint schemes. Model Power makes a 2-6-0 that is actually a German class 24 steamer that's had it's elephant ears (smoke deflectors) and buffers removed. It's paired with a North American style tender that's available in several roadnames. In the past, Model Power has made Japanese Shinkansen train sets in Amtrak and Santa Fe paint schemes.
