HO vehicles-am I missing something?

Plastic is the new metal-sounds like 21st century alchemy. But I do agree that they are still good looking. Also I want to apologize if I opened a can of worms with this blog.

Not to worry, they were, after all, only, "plastic" worms. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

When most of these companies started up, plastic, was a rare commodity. Athearn originally used embossed sheet metal sides and roofs for their kits. I still have one of their "steelside" kits in my "stash". ( unfortunately, not in the original packaging )
