[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by orsonroy So wait...you'll buy overpriced swill from Korea but not underpriced (and about as good) swill from China? And Kadee's cars are no better than Red Caboose, Branchline, Intermountain, new Atlas, and resin. [/quote] Well I disagree with you on everything here; the Korea brass locomotives are light years ahead of that plastic junk you call models. No they are not over priced, if you would sit down and look at a brass locomotive and compare the same model made in plastic, the brass one wins hands down!!!! Remember real locomotives are made of a metal and so are my models, BRASS. As far as cars go Kadee is better, than the ones you have listed, for one they have sprung trucks, and now come with scale couplers. Atlas is junk, they need new couplers and trucks before you put them on the track. Intermountain cars are nice but the paint on some are think and the grabirons and other details are to thick, and they are in limited runs. Red Caboose are nice, I will agee with you on that, however they are not stocked in my local hobby shops so I always have to wait for them. Branchlines are nice too, but I don't have time to build them, however, they are nice once finished. The biggest plus on a Kadee car is this, they are made in the USA.
