Re: (erielack) Life-Like Erie PA's in black/yellow

The new PA's in BY are HO.  I don't feel this is cause for concern, as
Life-Like has typically released N scale versions of their HO product six
to nine months later.  I'd look for them in late Fall / early Winter.

I agree with your assessment of their product.  Both their power and
rolling stock are comparable to Atlas and Kato and sometimes (particularly
their rolling stock), exceed their quality at a significant price
advantage.
