@drgw268:
No, Iīm afraid the Accucraft folks havenīt been out with their DRGW/RGS Boxcars yet, it appears that this is going to take the same long time as the DRGW No.50 Diesel took to get ready for the market. By the was - the No.50 diesel has a pretty poor electric pickup.
It took me all available tricks to get this shunter properly running...
About the C-16: San Juan did drop their plannings to bring the C-16 again. They had this engine already on the market some years ago. Nice, but plastic plus brass details- a very, very delicate thing...
MMI/PSC is going to bring a C-16 which will cost more than a K-36 or K-37. The reason seems to be that PSC canīt copy one of their Brass models (which worked fine for the K-27, K-28, K-36,K-37, but since they never did a DRGW C-16, this wouldnīt work) So thats the reason the tiny C-16 (which I love most) is getting more expensive as the big ones...
On the other hand, Accucraft has announced a C-16 as well, a bit cheaper, same versions more or less. But: WHEN will this come out? 2015 or 2020? (Speaking of the Boxcars which may much easier to construct and build than a 2-8-0 Steam Engine...)
I donīt see a 268 from Accucraft stand on my tracks the next time. Iīll stick with my BLI C-16, upgraded and a bit more detailled.
Cheers, Tom
