I am thinking of purchasing the MTH 30-2591-1 specialty set. Does anyone has any comments on it?
Is it more of a toy or a model. Here is the web page: http://www.mthtrains.com/content/30-2591-1

I have a MTH premier GGI with 19' cars, these appear to be the rail king variety,so that selective compression has set in!
I did some calculating snd the passenger cars in that set are about scale.
So would a scale gg1 look good pulling them?
I meant and by snd.
The scale engine might dwarf those passenger cars, "scale" Pennsy cars should probably be somewhere in the 18 to 21 inch long range. Another consideration is the minimum curve radius required for the scale engine, 054 vs 031 for the traditional (railking) size engines.

Railking is kind of a minimum standard for my purchases. I find it to be very acceptable. Fact is, I don't have the room to run a scale GG1, though I'd like to have on some day.
