Overly critical on everything isn't good.
wait... now the problem is that we don't have a problem.... I think Lou answered the question, maybe his photo of bigfoot SW1500 wasn't clear, but I think he knows what he is looking at. (Yes Ride height is high as per proto...)
Likewise, it's obvious that the MTL SW1500 is NOT an innovative model railroad product.
Exactly... and kudos to MTL for fixing this - as they said they would. I think it's odd they didn't rush out photos of the corrected model to end this debate - although I know there are other problems that people have brought up. This was the big one for me, the signature look of the loco and I am anxious to see one up close.
The one angle where I think your statement is very valid is "boy who cries wolf" syndrome. At some point, the message gets lost or at least diluted if the same over-the-top blasting of the same problem with the same manufacturer gets beat to death and then beat some more. This mostly happens with MTL since they have such a high volume of products, and also tend to have what most on this forum would consider "an agenda that doesn't optimize us as customers".
I can accept some inaccuracies depending on what they are, but riding to(o) high
Kiz, looks like someone else besides you hasn't been paying attention.
Ride height was always the same... Interesting how these conversations morph.
Yes, and if you look closely you can see the frame mechanism poking out below the shell, especially the part that fits under the battery boxes in the rear. Not a viable solution in my book.
Unfortunately the pictures on your website as well as the pictures on ebay all show a shell which is sitting way too low on the mechanism. How did that happen ? Why is there no clear picture from the manufacturer, who I assume would like to sell many of this model, available on your website ? A clear picture would have eliminated all most of the conversations.
Ride height was always the same...we didn't change anything and when it was first brought up I posted and end to end photo of ours and the SW 1200 stock. Interesting how these conversations morph. (not picking on ljudice) Joe
