I guess now we know that TRW is the real deal when it comes to critiques opinions about scale model trains!  :)

Or they just searched for Scaletrains and this came up.

I remember Tim Warris posted to the Trainboard Z scale forum once just because he searched Fasttracks and the topic came up.

... Still, looked to me like a blown opportunity for Walthers...

As was never releasing their Ethanol Series of buildings in N Scale. We have the room to model a full facility in N. I'm guessing sales lagged in HO, so we will never get those buildings. They would have made great parts for other builds too.

Welcome Mike, Shane, Paul and Joe! We expect great things from @scaletrains.

HAHAHAHA!!! do we have to be good? Respect, ok, that's fine, But some people do consider us the 4chan of the model railroad forums world after all.

Also, your post got down voted by someone, I find that funny for some reason...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Hopefully they show respect and retract their statement "This will be the first n scale locomotive with factory installed grab irons", ......Because my Intermountain F's have had them for a while now......

Perhaps a better statement would be: This is the first Scaletrains locomotive with factory installed grab irons"  ;)

That being said, I welcome them to TRW, and dare them to try to change my game.... :trollface:

The BOF I fabbed for John Colombo was I think a HO Rolling Mill kit I extensively reworked, using Evergreen sheet styrene for extra sheet metal and Plastruct pipes and fittings. Funny thing, I moved away before I could build it so I left all the pieces and handwritten instructions on how to put the reworked parts together.

My own preference would be that they offer buildings that are not "selectively compressed."  Instead of taking an HO building and reducing it by 45% to make it N scale (the most common manufacturing scheme), make the N scale one the same actual (not scale) size as the HO building, but with more windows and more floors to the building. 

But then the big manufacturers would be treating N as if it were a "real" scale, and that's just preposterous.

There may be a distinction between the vertical handholds on each IM loco door and the grabirons going up the side of the nose on a UP turbine.  Just a thought.

The SD40-2W has traditional grab irons going up the nose.
This is all semantics however lol...

That to me does not seem to describe the UP Gas Turbine.
