Large Scale Central

Tony Koester's column in the April MR

Hi all.

Title: Large scale is getting interesting Page 92 the “Trains of thought” column

If you see April MR on the shelf or pick it up from the library, have a quick read. Interesting in many respects!

Oh yeah, there’s a review of the Bachmann 3-truck Shay in the same issue, haven’t read that yet. :wink:

I thought Tony’s article was good. I also liked the “Operations” article on the last page by Andy Sperando(sp?). I would like that to be a monthly column.

Yes, I think Tony's comments are interesting and in "scale fashion" he pointed right at the "problems" that everyone in LS runs into.

Also interesting the mention that Michael Stephens became president of Athearn. He is one of the 1:22.5 RhB fans; commented once - after I started posting the comparison charts “Proto to Model” - that he had no idea that LGB was that far off the mark.
Yeah it’s downright dangerous when one has the proto info, the measuring equipment and a calculator. :smiley: :wink: :smiley:
