>>> I've compaired my old Halmark set to the Challenger "A" units.... and ya
>>> know
they don't look all that bad! I mean of course they are a bit on the crude
side I guess you'd say... but with some extra details and weathering....
they'll look pretty good. Also with the event of the PK2000's E 6's.... my
old Halmarks now run very fine indeed! <<<
Maybe I'm too crabby, but the terminal problems for me with the Hallmarks were
that they lacked the fluted section forward of the cab steps; the roof vents on
the B unit were lengthwise rather than transverse, and the spacing of the trim
strips on the nose was incorrect, making it hard to place the decals in a
manner that looked right. The first pair of windows on the A unit were in the
wrong place, but this could be masked by how you placed and spaced the road
name in the letter board. I sold mine off a few years after I got them because
it just bothered me too much.
