Those cabeese look the same as the ones MDC used to make, if the scale is the same that would make this stuff 1/24?

It's great that we now have two 0-6-0's to choose from. The Piko model looks pretty good to me ( a little toylike, sure) but the price looks to be reasonable and it could be kitbashed to a more realistic state. The USA trains model is heavier and has more detail--although I agree they skimped from the shell down--but costs more. It's great to have some choices in small steam
