Reply to "Opinions on MTH Premier PRR L1 Mikado"

The MTH tender is incorrect for an L1s.  MTH chose to recycle their I1s tender (PRR class 90F82) rather than modeling the 90F7 commonly trailing L1s locomotives.  The easiest spotting difference are the straight sides on the 90f82 while the 90f75 has angled coal boards..  One could perhaps replace the drawbar with a shorter one to close the engine-tender gap, but it may be dificult to improve the appearace of the spring between the frame and trailing truck. If you are not wedded to DCS, I'd hold off on an L1s decision until you can compare the upcoming Sunset Third Rail L1s with the MTH model.
