Double beam headlights ?

[NW Modeling List]

Yeah, some zero-cost options really make me wonder what the  manufacturers 
are thinking. The go to the trouble to produce a model and won't  do a five 
minute google search to get the locomotive number at least close -  
especially on diesels. But then again, that is why I make decals!

P.S. I just did a Google Norfolk and Western Roster search and had correct  
diesel numbers in less than 60 seconds!

Of  course, it's always been a zero-cost option to put prototypical-looking 
 
valve gear on models, but nobody seems to care.  Those Proto Y-3s are  a

closer to correct than those really expensive As and Y-6bs that are  out 
there, not to mention the Botchmann  Js.
