Model Reviews; VGN AG etc.

[NW Modeling List]

MTH made the Erie model, theres plenty of details differences than just 
the rear truck.
MTH just went one way and refused to go another. They keep saying about 
making money back......sheeshe...MTH, IF YOU GOT BETTER IN THE HO FIELD 
NOBODY WOULD HAVE ISSUES,  Instead they are more focused on their own 
proprietariness and in the HO world, that won't work.
