Re: #3000 -Honesty in Advertising?


 

Dave and all,

I think it's fair to say that only a small fraction of N Scalers today have even a modest interest in A1G.?

Of those, I really wonder how many are that interested in how 50 year old tooling aligns with the prototype-- particularly obscure ones like the 3000 series.? If anything, there's more concern with whether the railroads for which the cars are decorated even owned these cars.? (The most spectacular example I can think of on this is not A1G: the AHM/Roco "Flexi-Flo" pressurized covered hopper, which was not offered in a single roadname for which it actually existed, and was not offered for the New York Central, which actually owned them.)

If someone other than me is willing to take an N Scale Ruler and check out the key dimensions for A1G equipment, sure, I'll eventually modify the pages.? But I'd submit that it's well known that these are models at 1:160 proportion which were restricted by the available technology... Even now with 2019 models, it's not perfect, and probably will never be 100% spot on.

Cheers,
George
