Pros:
|
Hefty weight, looks great, metal wheels, plastic windows good detail
|
|
Cons:
|
Wheels are not blackened, they 'shine'
|
|
I have two of these cabeese, they are my favorites. I like the weight and the way they roll. They are the only cars I have with plactic couplers that are reliable! maybe it is because they are not pulling anything?

Pros:
|
Nice try, Athearn
|
|
Cons:
|
Totally off scale. I have an Atlas cupola caboose and put it next to the Athearn. Athearn is too big and is off scale
|
|
Totally not HO scale. The caboose is too tall and the details are too large

Pros:
|
great detail
|
|
Cons:
|
proportion/scale is off
|
|
I agree with the review above. The Athearn version, when next to the Atlas version, is noticably taller by about half an inch, and looks to be a tad larger than standard 1/87th scale.
I'll upload a comparison picture when I get around to it.
