Re: Minis: Ogre Mk. III-B question
That sort of reminds me of a railroad parallel.
In the 1950s diesel builders EMD and ALCo each went with an electrical plug system for connecting multiple units together within lash-ups. So you could have three locomotives on the point, from either builder as required to run a train. Baldwin went with a pneumatic system, and thus, they were orphans who could only connect with other Baldwin locos. Baldwin was slowly made obsolete by not having standardized connections. I'd think mating up a Mk. III or V and a Fencer hull might be along the same lines of difficulty. |

Re: Minis: Ogre Mk. III-B question
My Golem is basically a Mk. III front mated to a Mk. IV rear. With a bit of fiddling, you can kit-bash the Ogre miniatures together fairly easily.
Edit: And my Nihon Samurai will be a Mk. V with a Doppelsoldner rear hull. |

Though, and I'm afraid this might mean you won't want to be friends any more...I'm one of those weirdos who considers the EMD F-series to be more aesthetically pleasing than the ALCo PA series. The latter looks much better head-on, but from the side the longer nose looks out of place.

Re: Minis: Ogre Mk. III-B question
I'm with you on the F series. Gorgeous and a design triumph. Alco had clunky designs by comparison. In our local museum, we have the original FT demonstrator "A" unit, the "Diesel that did it".

Re: Minis: Ogre Mk. III-B question
Wait, there are people who think the EMD F units aren't the prettiest engines of the period?!?

Re: Minis: Ogre Mk. III-B question
I know, right? The PA gets all the love. It's a pretty engine, don't get me wrong, but the EMD F is prettier.

Re: Minis: Ogre Mk. III-B question
I'm confused. What part of an Ogre is that?

Re: Minis: Ogre Mk. III-B question
The part that crashes and burns if you shoot something 5 hexes in front of it! :D
Dangit, now I'm trawling Shapeways for Ogre-scale train miniatures...
