Virginian AG

Tue Sep 16 09:00:48 EDT 2014

I poured over some images, and I see the diffrerrences now, the 
Virginian Tender sides are higher, the domes maybe a little narrower 
maybe slightly longer.
The domes pop off on the RR model, so maybe if you hit Precision scale 
or other parts places you may get the correct dome.
I don't understand why they couldnt tool up for the domes, but it might 
mean changing the entire boiler casting just for the piping, might be 
why they didnt want to mod the domes.
But the model community even some OEM manufactures have done mod kits 
for other engines like a box cab for the athearn hustler, the AG would 
need some piping and the domes changed.

The arrangement for the articulation is not correct but this is a problem with almost all the non-brass articulated locomotives.  The swing is not bad and mine had two cabs and two drawbar locations so the overhang could be adjusted.  Overall it is a good locomotive for the price.

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.

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.
