Good comparison. In my opinion the Accurail and IMRC models are pretty far from accurate for a ACF prototype, Athearn nails it very well, so that’s what I’d consider for the ACF cars you showed. Between the 2 3281s by Walthers and AML, I’d say it would come down purely to whether you prefer price or detail more. I think you should’ve also included the Walthers Trinity 2980 2 bay car, as those are a pretty common prototype even today.
Oh. That is a good point. My Athearn RTR car in this video is from the yellow and blue box. So i assume the current RTR (white and blue) have metal walkways. I think i mentioend in the video that I like how the plastic walkways look so hopefully the new RTR are nice as well.
Oh awesome. That would be an awesome scene. I like these type of hoppers. That Blue ex RI hopper at the beginning of the video is actually one of my favorite trains. Of all of the ones I own. It’s a favorite! 🚂
