They also emphasize how important it is to clearly mention in the YouTube presentation that these are 3D prototypes. Marketing is starting to become a little more and more easy like Metropolitan

And maybe review the description: "Scale new tooling for the express train cars in 1?." Metropolitan comes in red/white this year. In the past, their "hand-made samples" sometimes were modified Roco models that looked better than the final model. Now they feature CAD images and AI-generated images. I learned my lesson many years ago: Better do not order before you see the real model. Then I left the Insider club because I no longer needed the order forms.
