(cont).......but i was really impressed with the FVM's version. Color, fit, detail, all awesome. And Mike also took the time to lay it on a strach of track and run it back and forth a few times, and it was silent. At the risk of sounding like a hypocrite, ill admit i did buy a Kato loco in that visit, and have a vid in the can i wanted to upload, but im thinking of waiting and going back to get the FVM's version and do a side by side....
@mercenary454 I was going to try soon to see if switching the boards with the kato and fox valley gevos would help the fox valley ditch lights be brighter
Ya, ill agree, sumthin on this vid didnt sound right, but after watching this vid, i went down to Lombard hobbies to check out these Fox Valley Models loco's, and mike was nice enuff to pull one out of the box and let me handle it, and i put it side by side to Kato's example of the same loco, and the difference in color, detail and fit were noticable, the Fox Valley model was pretty awesome. And Im a big Kato fan, i own plenty of Kato loco's.... ---->
