Sorry.  From an eight-wide perspective;-)  I do have to say that I like the 4565
more now that I have seen some prototypes after which this loco was built.  It is,
however, a little dichromatic (black, red everywhere).  I just like making my
own.  So I really would say get them all and don't build them, part them out and
build your own{:^D

The main set is decent,
and the alternate steam loc is nice too.  And, the 4559 is decent for parts.

Uff-da.  They *all* are pretty abysmal:-(  I'd buy the cheapest one I could
get and start on MOCs from the git-go.  But I'd prolly go 4565 if I *had* to
choose one...

HTH,
John

(...) 4565 load and haul would have been ok if TLG had not used the red and black on those proportions. same with cargo railway. an all black with hints of red/yellow as accents or vise versa would look good. i hated spyrius for the same reason. -- (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)
