Greetings from Planet 10,
I'm considering purchasing one of Stewart Hobbies' F-units - specifically, Stewart Hobbies #5222 F3AB Set Phase II Chicago Burlington & Quincy #9962A/B (fact is, I'm having a hard time locating ANY HO-scale CB&Q F3 models, from any vendor).
I own several F-units, but so far none from Stewart Hobbies. I understand that these units come with "user-installed detail parts". Can someone who is familiar with these models give me some idea of what this entails (for example, few parts vs many; snap-on vs glue, etc.) and also maybe provide a general opinion regarding the overall quality of the Stewart Hobby F-units? I realize this is subjective, but I would appreciate input from others who have first-hand knowledge - this represents a sort-of expensive purchase for me.
Any and all information is greatly appreciated,
cs
