WOW! All metal, Made by Ajin Precision...AND LESS THEN $100.00????!!!!!!! I must say that will be a very nice addition to the line. I hope Model Power will consider doing these up like this in HO...Might put MP back on my list. Any manufacturer that sells all Metal models is all right with me...especially if they sell them at Plastic prices.
I agree, if ever there was a manufacturer that needed to redeem themselves more than Bachmann it is Model Power. Man, N-scale just keeps getting better! All aboard the steam express......anyone for a decapod? Russ Hoffman Valley RR
I have emailed Model Power for info on the prototype and asked them to send me a photo as well Will post their reply (and hopefully photo) upon receipt eNjoy
Any info whether it's cast metal or brass? Cast zinc or pot metal like the old Varney, Penn Line, and Bowser locos from the 50's wouldn't be bad at all, especially if the molds have the same quality and detail as the molds for plastic castings.
Here is a pic of the Z-Scale Ajin Precision 4-6-2 in B&O blue, my guess is they use the same prototype.
Sweet! If Eddie sees this message, that would make a nice K5s conversion! Looks like our new year's hopes are coming true! More steam! BTW - Releasing it around the time of my birthday would be great Russ Hoffman Valley RR
Yeh, I saw the message about the model Power 4-6-2. I would have to see an actual pic of the model before jumping at it. I doubt if Model Power will adjust design for various liverys and working with metal may be a bit much? It seems everytime I start kitbashing a steam engine to fit PRR design, the manufacturers come out with another. I have two TRIX K4's now. I run 7 steam engines regularly now on my layout. Any more and I'll have to make atificial smoke around the cities to give them the real 1940's look and smell. Taking a wait and see on this one. ....Eddie
