Some of the re-issued accessories that (at first glance) seem to have had their pricing structure inflated significantly by the "plug-n-play" feature.

 

Only having seen it (plug-n-play) in the catalog today, I won't quite condemn it yet, but it seems like a solution (an expensive one when you add all the track interfaces with the "plug" capability!) looking for a problem.

Never use an inexpensive twisted pair of wires when a more expensive specialized cable will do.

I hadn't thought of that option. Thanks for the suggestion. Malcolm's work is truly extraordinary. If he can build an O scale Krauss-Maffei ML 4000, he can tackle anything. Since I work in HO as well, I had entertained the thought of getting my double ender fix by looking for an Overland brass model but they typically sell in excess of a grand IF you can find one.

I am voting with you on this.  I think most people who recognize these would just as soon not seen one again until they have to -- so why buy a model?

I meant I want it but they wont make it and  I always rode on them and wouldprobably buy a whole fleet if they did.
