MTH HO J

[NW Modeling List]

I have an MTH J. I also have two BLI's. Detail wise, I'd give the edge to the BLI's, but both of my BLI's have experienced running issues after just a couple of hours. I've run the MTH around the club layout for many hours and it has yet to fail. I program all of my locos on my NCE powercab system but run them using digitrax on the club layout. True, you can't access all of the features without the DCS system, however I can still access most of the features from my DT400 throttle. The most annoying aspect  is that sometimes if the system glitches you have to stop the train, do and toggle F3 to get the sound going again. One thing that is a hit...the announcements you can access using F4. Kids at shows love the Conductor calls. 

I guess I'm not that picky....I like them all.

  To those of you that have purchased the MTH HO J, what is your opinion as to the quality, performance and appearance of the model?  Without starting another discussion of the proper shade of Tuscan Red, is the color on the model within the ballpark of acceptable assuming that it will be the same color MTH applies to their passenger cars?  Does anyone know if the cars will be "reasonably" accurate and worth purchasing?  I understand from the company that the cars have been delayed until Spring of 2010.  Thank you.
