Mine would (I quote her...) say, "Where's my speeding train?". She does that when she's aggravated...

steamgene,

Good luck on that one. Also, I think they re-state it because halfway through the article, people realize there is an article on how to make a gravel pit scene and read that. When they return to the Y3a article, they forget if the model "closely matches the URSA 2-8-8-2". Then everyone goes, "Oh yeah, I knew that." They all think this, "When did Proto 2000 Heritage start making steam locomotives?"

sp4449,
I have my guess on Rivarossi and Revel... I have absoutely no clue, I'm falling on whoever corrects me.

Revell is an unpowered plastic kit that does not move...

GG,
It's likely the cheapest then... Go figure, you'll never see a moving thing from Revell...

Revell imported Arnold-Rapido's N-scale line way back in the day. And, yes those did move, so there have been moving things from Revell (at least in 1/160).

Didn't Revell make some freight cars to go along with the many structures it had when it was active in HO?  But yes, both the Big Boy and the NYC Class J Hudson were static models.

That's pretty neat... I think that was unexpected, I guess you will see a moving thing from Revell... 

Thank you for the picture Pacific Northern.
