<P>Greetings and Happy Thanksgiving to all those who will be celebrating tommorow.</P> <P>I found the following very apt to the discussion in this thread. While 99% of those who view our models would be unware of the short comings of the IHC 2-10-2, and I would guess most of us would not be terribly concerned with the "problems" with the locomotive from a detail stand point, still it is "wrong" and while orsonroy may be a "nit picker", he is "right" with regard to an other wise good running locomotive.</P> <P>[/http]http://www.trains.com/TRC/CS/forums/956809/ShowPost.aspx[http/]</P> <P>The decision is ours to make, change the boiler, add an air pump, change to the correct feedwater heater or let it run as is. If the price is "right", do the short comings nag at us, or do we just "play with our trains"? I think that the above discussion helps us to make an informed choice as to whether or not we want one or not, and may explain why they may be REAL bargins down the line below their current "Sale" price, and worth the time and cost of needed modifications. I personally am thankful for "Nit-Pickers" input into my buying decisions.</P> <P> </P> <P>Will</P>
