Product Reviews

It would be helpful while scanning the product reviews if the scale of each product were identified with a larger, bold letter outside the descriptive copy. I often read reviews of products in other scales, but I like to give first read to products from the scale in which I model.

Scale of Products

In each instance the review includes the Scale of the Product and the mass reviews are broken out is Scale sections, What more do you think is necessary?

Price vs. what was originally offered.

It is interesting to see a price on this since the original flyers said you had to purchase a whole train set. I am glad they are offering cars separately so we can assemble a train of our liking. I have been reading about the Santa FE modelers trying to find more Walthers sleepers since they offered only one sleeper per train, but the super chiefs had many sleeps on each train.

Scale is always in the nav bar title

Scale is always in the nav bar title at the bottom, and it's also always bolded in the article body.

While scale is important, we prefer not to feed "scale blindness" by making the scale so blaring that it almost slaps you across the eyes or knocks out your eardrums. We prefer the model to grab your interest enough that you will take a few moments more to learn something about it - at which point you will find we make sure the scale is visible.

Some modelers completely tune out anything but their own scale - we think that is a BIG mistake.

YUP!  It's good to have an appreciation for "the other guy's" scale.  I'll always peruse the N and O scale stuff, although I will admit that Z means nothing to me (sorry Z-scalers).
