BLI SD40-2

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

I don't think they're lying, which implies an intention to deceive. i 
suggest that tehy're trying to do the right thing, but are suffering 
from disorganization and internal communications problems. They also 
need to improve their quality control, make certain before production 
that they have the details right, and that their engineering accounts 
for things like differential shrink rates of delrin vs. styrene as 
well as alignment and angle of part attachment. Though not of great 
interest to N&W fans, their ATSF 2-10-2, an otherwise great model, is 
cosmetically flawed by running boards which are forced to sit at an 
odd and ugly angle by poorly engineered stairways from the pilot 
decks. This sort of problem should never happen. But they seem to 
want to do the right thing.
