@Scottl They look fake, at least in the BLI supplied pictures I've seen of them. I can't explain where that impression comes from, but it may be the way they photograph / process images of them. Can't speak towards having seen one in person... it's highly likely I have (probably at Trainfest) but can't say with certainty as their offerings aren't really on my radar. I get the same vibe from Kato as well, but not as much.
Something to add to this: I believe Kato has been gaslighting us for YEARS about how model locomotives "should" look.I realized it when debugging my impressions of the Intermountain SD40-2s. "Why do these seem to ride so high compared to Katos?""Oh, it's because the Kato version is too low"It was an eye opener. Now, I don't have a fix, because, to my eye, the Kato units still look "right", but it might be a contributing factor here.
I'm ruined for life
