The only downside is his stuff makes all my other rolling stock look like crap...<grin> NZ Date: 11/24/15 12:01 Re: Tangent 4180 Airslides Author: bigkidpgh got same B&O model yesterday also - it is really well done - the lettering and detail are first-rate. i'm saving up for another!

Rick Date: 11/24/15 16:37 Re: Tangent 4180 Airslides Author: MrMRL A pair of BNSF sand hopps arrived at my door step last night as well. Earlier than the anticipated "December 3rd" delivery date too! Models look top notch, just like the photos on Tangents site. The Walthers models I had sitting on the shelf for a future upgrade are history now. Thank you Tangent!

It is the Australian version of Tangent...i.e. Moloco kicks ass just like Tangent. Exactrail and Genesis? Not even close. They're in a tie for last place. John P. Kohlberg Edited 2 time(s).

Date: 11/25/15 11:53 Re: Tangent 4180 Airslides Author: bigkidpgh well I just happen to have models of both manufacturers out of the box on this unusually mild pre-turkey day in beautiful Western Pennsylvania. Now I'm no rivet counter or expert in the field, but I've been in the hobby long enough to recognize a superior product when I see it. And both of these freight cars fall into that category. Take a look - what do you think?
