Re: differences between scale and hi-rail
I have 1 truck somewhere. I want to say it's from a PRS boxcar (had a yellow/blue box?). The wheels looked like some sort of sintered metal. If that means anything. The trucks themselves are ok

Re: differences between scale and hi-rail
Rich, Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believer PRS never offered hi-rail kits as such.? All PRS kits that came with trucks came with scale wheels only.? These two cars are fitted with some other

Re: differences between scale and hi-rail
Ok I stand corrected. I for instance had Lionel/Williams hudsons in the past, which were nice enough, and were brass, but had pressed in boiler bands. Kind of differemt animal, differemt time period.

Well, here's a comparison of the MTH F3 vs. the SHS F7.? And yes, the long warbonnet and lack of stainless steel on the MTH model is correct for that particular class of Santa Fe F3's. Rich G(ajnak)

Re: d00ifferences between scale and hi-rail
With one exception: the AM locomotives come in either scale or AF-compatible, and of those, either DC or AC. As with the older Weaver diesels in O scale, it is still possible to convert the AF-type
