The OMI S2 switcher (and the S1 and S4) was imported in 1985 and as such represents Korean drives of that period. If you expect it to run like SHS equipment (designed and built ~20 years later), you will be disappointed... save your money. If you like working on and tweaking and aligning and remotoring older brass drives, you can produce a nice running model whose detail is exceptional. Out of the box, the SHS switcher is a far superior runner. Jim Kindraka River Raisin Models http://www.riverraisinmodels.com Yahoo!
