[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CubanRailways</i> <br /><br />I have to say that Spectrum are my favorite model railroad company for the following reasons: <br /> <br />1. They are cheap, but good quality - the locos run well at slow speeds and have very good detail for plastic models. <br /> <br />2. Seeing as they are cheap I do not mind taking a knife to them, thus they have become the backbone to my fleet of Cuban Sugar Cane locomotives - roughly based on Cuban prototypes. <br /> <br />3. Bachmann revolutionized the UK market a few years ago and have produced some stunning OO scale models, so I feel an allegiance to them! <br /> <br />Proto and BLi also produce some brilliant steamers that are hands down better than the Spectrum models, but they come with a price! Plus a lot of the BLi models are not suitable for my requirements - i.e Cuba never had any Standard gauge 2-8-8-2's or Cab Forwards (Unfortunately!). <br /> <br />As for Passenger Cars - Walthers -no questioning! <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Stephen <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />So what made you choose to go with the Cuban railway rather than the English railway ?. <br /> <br />trainluver1
