Quoted by Catt <blockquote>quote:</font><hr> <hr></blockquote>Sorry Scott,but your wrong on this one. The LifeLike SD-7 has full pilots.The Atlas/KATO has open pilots. Catt is correct. The two I have on the desk right now the LL has full pilots and 1015's and the Atlas/Kato has open pilots and truck mounted couplers. So unless someone pulled a switcheroo somewhere, the lifelike has the better coupler arrangement.
Lifelike SW9/12, SD7, GP20, and the new BL2 have full pilots. [ 17 November 2001: Message edited by: Scott Siebler ]</p>
I have 1 geep which runs good, is a little noisy, but has a very nice shell and paint. I also have a couple switchers but I have not put decoders in them yet, so I don't know how well they will run. Again, the shell/paint is very nice. I would like to nominate LL as the "Most Improved" N scale manufacturer...that is until I get my hands on the Bachmann Consolidation.
Another LL from yesterdays session, the E-7, I may just be lucky, but this one purrs like a kitten, creeps well, decent speed, and weighs a ton! ( well not really a ton )
