[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by boomer5344 A few comments.... This N scale modeler would LOVE to see MTH get into N scale ! The production model MTH K4 will be much more detailed than the BLI model. Lastly, The MTH K4 is already 100% NMRA DCC compatable. This whole "MTH is not wanted in HO" is so childish and ridiculous. Just wait till the actual model comes out, then decide. Lets get back to the trains!!! [/quote] Are you looking at the same issues of Model Railroader that the rest of us are? The MTH K4 has a huge non-prototypical smokebox hinge, just like their O scale models. The firebox looks like it's jacked up off the trailing truck. This you say is better detailed than the BLI K4? Please. A Bachmann Spectrum K4 is more nicely proportioned than that abomination. If MTH freely turned over every patent they claim to the NMRA I STILL wouldn't buy the HO K4 simply because it is a horrible model, far too toylike. And I don't think I'm alone here in feeling this way. It has nothing to do with any litigation or whatnot and everything to do with the actual quality of the model in question. --Randy [/quote] Well said Randy! I agree, the MTH K4 looks very toyish. The BLI K4 and the Spectrum K4 look far better by comparison. Atleast when Lionel (who makes 3 rail O as well) entered HO, they made exceptionaly good looking models. Also, BLI released their K4 a few weeks after they announced it, now there's a first! I wi***hey did that with all of their models! Happy Railroading, Jonathon
