I was saving these but this might be an appropriate time to sneak a peek-
Enjoy!
Very nice Jack. It is nice to see that LGB just continues with it’s usual quality.

Many of us are looking forward to seeing the actual production models. [;)][:)][;)]
These are actual production models- unpainted.
Very nice, they just SCREAM for a cab-car though! If LGB is smart, after releasing these they should quickly issue a cab-car as well, otherwise some smart enterprising fellow is gonna produce a conversion kit and sell a mess of them.
Now if we can just get someone to release an F40
Way ahead of you partner! [;)]
Hi Jack,
What I mean is: ready for delivery and review. [;)]
Even I will buy one, if only to have some fun measuring and comparing to the prototype. [;)][:)][;)]
“G1.5 rules!” [;)][:D][;)][;)]
I’ll have fun running mine![;)][;)][;)]
Good for you!
They don’t fit my RhB anymore than the LGB 31510 RhB EW IV would.
But I’ll have great fun doing the review, despite it being a serious endeavour. [:)][:)][:)]
I wonder what a P42 and a string of these would look like in Santa Fe Warbonnet or UP yellow colors.
Yeah!
Or CP gray and maroon with script lettering.[:p][:D][:D] To go with the F7 scheme. [:I][:I]
Or my personal favorite:

your so…well…[}:)][B)][8][:o)]
(at least I get your drift) [:p]
Have Fun: Jeff [8D]
Jack–very nice. LGB’s doing some great stuff in 1:29, even though y’all won’t put it on the box. One criticism–the wheels are too small. Is LGB going to provide proper wheels for these cars (ie 36" diameter without the axle ends sticking out?) When you compare your shots to the banana yellow car above, that’s the one thing that jumps out at me as being “wrong.” I can’t help but to think y’all have some wheels sitting on the shelf somewhere that would be much more in scale. (And yes, I’m using “scale” and “LGB” in the same sentence.)
Later,
K
Jack:
I"m with you. As long as they look good, I will look forward to running them, not measuring them.

John,
Not a problem![;)][:)][:)][;)]
BTW I like that picture in your sig, looks just like an LGB engine ( unless you click on it and it displays in the proper proportions); not quite like the prototype but you can still tell it’s a steam engine. [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
The fishing song
(Frere Jaques)
Let’s go fishing,
Let’s go fishing,
At the Lake,
Oh it’s great,
Early in the morning,
Hope the fish aren’t snoring,
Hurry don’t be late,
We’re fishing at the lake.
Hello HJ:
First off, I like your website, you have done a nice job with the site layout. I look forward to seeing it updated. Second, I am wondering why you appear to be so focused on the actual dimensions of models that are produced?
I am glad you like the Pennsy turbine picture. I also like the picture. Whether the picture is distorted or not makes no difference to me. It also makes no difference to me that my MTH model of that engine is or isn’t prototypically accurate. I think it looks cool, so I like running it on my track. I also like running my PRR mikado on my LGB track. Am I being foolish for running a non-prototypical model? That is what you seem to be intimating.
Regards,
John O
Tell us Jack, what scale are these going to be?
…of course.
Hi John,
The dimensional thing is very easy to explain. I’ve been “playing” with trains for 54 years, but the last 34 years I’ve been concentrating on scale model railroading. When some mfg advertises or other wise proclaims that; as an example
then I expect that the item has a consistent, uniform scale.
The Genesis is just one example, there are many, many more in the LGB line up. Of course one could say that is strictly semantics, but as far as I know “replica” has a clear definition
Same goes for “authentic”
