I posted this in another G scale forum. I would like you to see it MTH.
" Now why would MTH slap a modern paint scheme on an old box car with illegal trucks for modern use?
I can't seem to copy the image from the new catalog?
At least they should put their version of roller bearing trucks on it? Maybe not?
I have not been able to ever figure out, why certain cars come with roller bearing trucks. The tank cars I have, some are and some are not equipped. It could match the year of the paint scheme but it doesn't.
Same with the coal cars. Shouldn't modern cars have modern trucks?
I read a lot of posts in O scale forums complaining about these very things. I always feel that some are just grumbling on. I am realizing that if we don't complain, they won't care.
There was a catalog from MTH this past year of the new Genesis that had the wrong road number for the model. Guys complained enough, and MTH promised to fix it. They still had not fixed it for preorder deadline, so I did not order it along with other guys. I don't wish to get too nit picking, but I am not a totally blind follower.
So come on MTH, please take care of us. I am still and always will be waiting for that new modern diesel that was talked about!
I would love to see modern metal roller bearing trucks with real bearings inside. Yes, I will pay more for them."
