Although I would like to take the high road with you on this issue, I can't. First, I''ve bought non-prototypical engines painted for BC Rail that didn't exist - when I didn't know what I was doing. But you know what, at the time I was really happy with the engine - kept me interested in the hobby. I couldn't figure out why people were so upset it wasn't a real prototypical engine. Of course, over time I stopped purchasing these non-existent engines. But that isn't the reason I am defending the practise. If I were to start out a MRR company producing cars, I just might put out some "fake" ones, just so I can survive to put out future cars. It might just be that the income the fake cars bring in would be enough to keep me alive and actually pay some bills. Con Cor has never been the Bastian of excellence - though I do like some of their releases - but they aren't excellent. I guess in my mind, if I am a company survival is first, then I will head in the direction I want as reality permits.
