    I’ll pass judgement when it gets dirty.

    It looks promising, though it’s geographically unsuitable for me.

    I grew up with Tri-Ang models from around 1956 onwards. They were sturdy models, OK, lacking some detail, but reasonably priced in their day and capable of decades of service, witness the number of black Princess Elizabeth locos still around. Today’s models may be much more finely detailed, but one can scarcely dare touch them for fear of damaging fine details. The motors are also much less durable.

    Have we gone too far in the pursuit of accuracy?
