MT's 150

i don't know if anybody remembers me saying i thought there was something wrong with the 150 by MT but i've found it. thought these shots may be of interest.

however i love the rest of MT's work. GE and LSE are great. well done

Go on then, give me a clue what you are pointing out.

Make life a lot easier if having found comparision pictures you just simply explain what you think it is that is wrong.
Or shall I guess, based on the logic that if I missed it 1st time round when building it why am I likely to spot it this time round, and also pointing out that as you are comparing it with another model you are comparing one persions impression of a train with someone elses impression, so neither may actually be correct.

sorry. didn't mean to upset. its just an observation i made. i felt the face was too long which changed the shape and made it look different to all other 150's i've seen. as i said. wasn't having a go. just re-enforcing an opinion i had.

Yes, but you didn't actually say what it was you are pointing to.
I don't have a problem with it being wrong, but it would be nice that if you feel the need to say theres something wrong with it you actually make it clear what your point is.

oh. can you see a difference in the two shots though?

The bogies and the equipment underneath the frames do look a lot more accurate on the MT model. Don't you agree, Pompeyfan?

i think they both look nice, just the one you get with the east coast main line looks not as nice because you only realy buy an add on for the route so they arent going to reali want to make the stock included top notch, but the downloaded class 150 has had its development based on the actual train it self rather then the route.

if that makes sense

Since when did East Coast Express come with a Class 150?

Slap me with a big wet trout if I'm wrong, but to me logic would dictate that comparison with a real 150 would be a more astute exercise (if one so wished)?
