I've pretty much decided that when it comes to locomotives and rolling stock, for reliability's sake, I need to stick to brass. Thirty-five years of tampering with locomotive kits and never having anything run satisfactorily has taught me that I should stop, NOW. My recent acquisition of an old but box-stock NWSL Dunkirk has been revelatory- once I greased the drivetrain, the thing ran like a Rolex. Slicker than a greased weasel though a culvert. So, I'm going to stick to R-T-R brass. Fortunately for my pocketbook, I model in HO, I prefer tiny little prototypes, and I don't need a whole lot of them. Sub-20 ton geared steam and four-wheeled enclosed-cab diesels and electrics turn my crank. What I would really, really, REALLY like to see would be a brass, R-T-R, General Electric 25-tonner in HO standard gauge, HOn3, and HOn30. I think I'd be good for a couple, if not all three. To my knowledge, it hasn't been done yet, though Flying Zoo's HO 16-Ton electric and Grandt's styrene HO/HOn3 25-tonner (which I own-I loaded the cab with lead shot and it's still way too light) suggest that it wouldn't be that much of an engineering challenge. What would you like to see come out of your favorite color of foam-padded box? Post it here. Maybe some of importers read this board. You never know...
