ALTHOUGH THE SHAPE OF THE P5a BOXCAB bears a strong resemblance to a plastic cheese storage box, don’t let that fool you. This model illustrates the high level of detail that can go into a die-cast metal diesel or locomotive shell. […]

O gauge SD70ACe by Lionel
I’M VERY PLEASED TO NOTE that if I was mildly disappointed in Lionel’s scale-detailed GP7 (see November 2008 reviews), the firm’s O gauge rendering of a pinnacle of modern locomotion, the EMD SD70ACe, has more than made up for it in the Department of Wow. The prototype has plenty of detail points to model, and […]
