Good to see them. I don't know if I'll go as far as lift rings in Z scale, but all the rest I could find a use for. How's about the F-unit set in Z ; ) F un-coupling levers F long grab irons (at the doors) F replacement stirrups http://www.blmamodels.com/images/store/99b.jpg
Oh yeah ! Now, have the damn rivet counters tell you that the bend here or the dimension there is wrong but for me, those air hoses, grab irons and mirrors are it for me ! Yeah, and the F7's too. PLENTY of those out there.
If you are going to the trouble of adding these details to a Z scale loco, then you are already a member of the "rivet counter" club?
Naw, me? I just know a missing part or something that definetely would look better. I have to work enough as it is under a 1.8x lense just to build or work on the stuff, but the macro photos are even stronger. I try to stand back at the 2 foot distance like most of the people that would see the trains. What catches their attention? But I do like an extra feature or two that helps create thos subtle variations. No grab irons for me but the air hose would stand out.
