I happen to like it. The Catatonk/Chaney 14 ton is rare as hen's teeth and the Accucraft is to large and nearly $1000 more if you can find one. I dont mind the more basic detail as I am a bit ham fisted so less to get broken when handling or transporting to a steam up. If things fall into place, or I sell my Pearse Earl and rolling stock, I plan to order one of them(probably the kit version when it comes available). Would have I like to see it at a bit lower price point, yes but that goes for many models. Look at what a new build Roundhouse costs after exchange rate for the USA. Its right up there and I am only talking about models such as Lady Anne. I do plan to add the light, steam whistle and stack but not the cow catcher. The supplied footboard style pilot is just fine. The smaller size will look good with my LGB Disconnects that I have on hand already. I also look at the lack of full Stephenson valve motion as less stuff to wear out and get sloppy with lots of running. Those little wigglers will do just fine with loads of run time. Now we need someone with a 3d printer to develope a 2 piece gear box to protect the gears in the truck and allow them to run in grease, just as on the real Heislers. I can envision a 2 piece design, small zip tie around the shaft housing at the top, and snap or small screws around the big axle gear. slotted to fit over the axle with covers to close in the slots. Excellent addition to the Regner line IMHO, hats off to Jay Kovac for seeing this first project with Regner thru. I hope it leads to more logging models that are all metal and not mostly wood like the Henry body is, or the Shay/Climax were. Makes them a tad fragile. Mike the Aspie
