Last night I went to a friends house where a group of us get together with some modules we are working on. I took my BLI SD40-2 for a little show and tell. These people have an interest in trains of course but none are "experts" the closest to an expert is my friend who worked for the CSX for a few years. <br /> <br />This was everyone's first experience with a sound equipped locomotive and they were all highly impressed with both the locomotive and the sound. I told them that the "experts" had really come down hard on this model as being inaccurate in both look and sound. They could not believe what I was saying. <br /> <br />Before anybody replies repeating all the flaws this model has, don't bother, I already know about most if not all of them. The point of my writing this is to point out that many people would be completely satisfied with owning this model and could care less about it's flaws. It pulls a healthy string of cars and was fun to watch and listen too. <br /> <br />So don't let those who are always ready to point out what's wrong with this loco or that car dampen the fun you can have in this hobby. As long as it runs well and doesn't fall apart at the first sign of misuse I think a model serves it's purpose. <br /> <br />Bob DeWoody
