QUOTE: Originally posted by Roadtrp Would anyone care to give reasons why this stuff is garbage? The locomotives certainly aren’t very detailed, but you wouldn't expect that given the price. Are the measurements consistent with the prototype? Is the engine quiet? How is slow speed operation? How many cars will they pull? What type of couplers are used? I know this doesn't concern me directly, because I'm in N scale and IHC doesn't do locomotives for N. But it really would be nice when products are being evaluated to provide information a little more useful than "this is garbage". Another point.... We ALL KNOW that a $35 diesel isn't as good as an $80 diesel. That falls in the category of DUH! But not all of us want to spend $80 on a diesel. What we need to know is how does THIS $35 diesel compare to other $35 diesels? Not meaning to rag on anyone, just looking for more useful information. [:)]
