name, rank and...

Erik,

 

Thanks for your contributions; I've noted your participation, here; and, have admired some of your models. Your Burlington E unit(s)(I think they're yours) are probably one of the nicest looking O scale models, I've seen.

 

 

Currently, I'm into craft beer; locally we have some exceptional brews. There is a useful online rating system that allows an interested person, to get a glimpse of what's available. It's subjective of course, but it gives you a starting point.

 

Thanks,

 

 

Rick 

Erik,

 

I just saw your last posts; that's the Burlington locomotive I was referring to...

 

All those E's look like quality pieces.

 

Rick

Those are absolutely incredible models.  The detailing is unbelievable.

 

Thank you for posting those pictures, I really enjoyed them.

I apologize for deletion of my posts. The content I shared was personal intellectual property and I use them for educational purposes. I am happy sharing the materials with the public and encourage it.

Sadly in the past public posters will "discredit" or attempt to "discredit" a fine model based on unsubstantiated evidence. Case and point here. I took the photo in a home made HO scale sized studio made of white cardboard that is NOT level. The model in question does not lean. My apologies for stepping out of this conversation.



Just to reinstate what I said. The model in question DOES NOT LEAN. It is my studio with stacked white cardboard boxes. And if it did Key would correct it; they stand behind their models.

I never thought fixed pilot models shells, tilted, and certainly didn't think it happened to steam models; just some hi-rail units.

 

I have a few hi-rail Premier models that tilt; makes the gap look even worse.

This thread makes no sense.  What the heck are you guys talking about?

Rick, you should check out a book titled "Brass Model Trains" hard copy and has color photos.  The book attempts to list all scales brass models built, costs, year etc. 

 

Erik, a public forum is just that open to both praise and criticism.  I love my Key challenger just the same.  Negative stuff doesn't deter me from posting.  Just ask Rick B., I tried to convince him the OMI stuff has just as much presence as the real thing but just tinier version. 

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike.

 

BTW, I never took your posting, re: the tilt, as being negative or a criticism. I guess it's, sometimes, hard to judge the tone/or meaning of a post. I took it as a neutral, candid statement of fact.

 

Rick

It's cool guys. It's just best to let it die.

Michael your a good man the best really!

Just I am too sensitive agreed.

My apologies again for derailing the post. It was meant to be something else that it was rapidly going away from.

 

Erik,

 

Thanks, but, no apologies are necessary.

I want to second Erik's statement.  Key stands behind their models.  Key has the best customer service in the hobby.  Just my opinion, of course.
