What is the #1 missing product

[nachoman]

Josh & Kevin, you are both skilled modelers. What is your threshold for details?

See my post <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1727">viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1727</a><!-- l -->

My point is that to be truly protoype faithful - one can take details even farther than the "rivet counters" already do. If I strive to have my rolling stock perfect, it would then bug me that my scenery is not right or the cultural aspects of my scenes disagree with historical record. My goal is to create a reasonable representation. If I am scratch building a car, I will make sure to have seperate grab irons and stirrup steps. Brake rigging - well I will glue a brake cylinder underneath if it will be visible. And truss rod turnbuckles? maybe if I have some lying around or feel like making them. I may add seperate grabs to shake the box kits if I get around to it. The stirrup steps I will replace if I break them off, or replace when I get around to it. For locomotives or cars that I am already modifying or painting to a home road - I will usually go ahead and add a few extra details. I have a Mantua Atlantic that needs to be letterd for my home road - and I will go ahead and add piping details and a new air pump while I have it apart.
