DAVID FORTNEYSo is it really necessary to pay the high prices of extreme detail if your going to run them on a layout?
For some people, yes. For others like me, no.
If you don't want to pay the premium price but want the very detailed look, we have a lot of modelers on this forum who customize fairly cheap cars into very detailed ones.
I don't think I have the skills to do that yet, but it's something I will probably try in the future.

I’m older than dirt and still have pretty good eyesight (Cataract Surgery on both eyes) and at a couple of feet I can’t see any difference so it must depend on the individual. Mel My Model Railroad http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/ Bakersfield, California I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Yes.
I was over a friends house to see his layout and the subject of the new SL automax autoracks and the 86' box car. He had a few on his layout and asked us to point them out.
We did but with other like cars the detail does not really stand out.
But if you put them side by side the difference is very noticeable. So is it really necessary to pay the high prices of extreme detail if your going to run them on a layout?
