I almost did a few hours ago.  Got so far as Liking them so I could post it on their Wall, then I decided they probably wouldn't actually look at it anyway, so I didn't.

Ed K dared me to also, but I'm not sure I want to.  It was fun, but I'm not sure Walthers will find it funny.  I want to still have some credibility with them when I make suggestions.

I support your anonymity, but sometimes the truth hurts. And Wally needs the truth.

Fine...  Have fun with it.  Just would rather not slap my name on it, that's all.

Meh...  I decided I wanted to maintain ownership and distribution.  I'd rather keep it an inside joke.  I moved it.

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

When they came out years ago under the LifeLike label, I scorfed some up and although flawed, I liked them.  That is because I am a certified cabooseaholic from deep within.

Hey, I just purchased an Intermountain UP CA5 caboose which is more detailed than any out of the box car I ever owned.  Even better than some of the Atlas newbies.  I paid 22.95 for the IM model, and never regretted it for one second. Heck, I will still pay about 10 bucks for a glassless MT caboose, that is how bad I have it, but even a cabooseaholic has his limits.

I don't think I will pay that price for a shell, frame and trucks with no glass, or even a hint of improvement over the old days.  I learned the marketing, that to survive a price increase, a company has to offer a "little something" to make it attractive, and from this thread they didn't. 

Geesh, I hope Walthers learns to love N scale, we are truly a nice group of people.

Don't forget the "new box"!

PS. I just went to Walthers to quote the "new box" feature statement and it has been removed from the car description.

We smile even while ripping you a new one. Of course, we never do that latter without just deserve.

Easier to just shave them off and replace them with the decal-based ones?

Oh yeah!  I totally forgot about those Archer rivet sets.  They would really look the part.  Off to their web site...
