Virginian AG

[NW Modeling List]

IF we're talking the Rivarossi, they got the tender drawings from the Society.  When I talked to the Rivarossi Hornby guy at the train show at the NMRA National, he told me that they did do the tender in accordance with the drawings, and did not change the domes.  He said "they" thought that modelers could change the domes more easily than the tender.  To my eye it--the tender--looked okay.  I didn't break out  scale rule and the drawings.  

The Rivarossi C&O 2-6-6-6 runs well, I'm told.  So each of us will have to decide a)if the wrong domes bother us, b)if the domes can be fixed (3D printing, resin, or??), c)if the rear engine swiveling bothers us, and d)what each of us is willing to trade off for the difference between a Riv at $4-500, a Key at $800-1,000, or the Ajin/Overland at $1,500-2,000.  There's another brass one allegedly coming out soon (PSC?) for over $3K.
