Far from the best quality, but in many cases "good enough".
This is a relatively easy way to get freight containers for a model railroad. The castings are all pre-painted and are arranged in groups. They are not particularly good castings. The detail is "sharp enough" for viewing at a distance, but would never be good enough for a close-up. The decals are cheesy and mainly "Clabber Girl". I guess nobody at Woodland Scenics has heard of Solvaset or any of the other decal setting solutions because the larger decals are de-laminating and are way too shiny to be prototypical. One crate advertises a massage parlour and house of ill repute.. One crate advertises used cars. These, of course are not correct for any period of rail traffic.
If you are looking for "good enough" these will do. If you are any kind of "rivet counter" they will not.

What strength to get? Plastic/glass? Check these out!
If you are not sure of what strength you need in an Optivisor this is the best and cheapest way to find out. The lenses are some kind of acrylic which has been nicely worked to give you clear vision and still save money over the ground-glass versions. For a hobbyist they are perfect. For a pro, I'd still opt for the glass. They are my second pair (two separate workshops) and the quality has not cheapened a bit in over 30 years.

"Professional quality suitable for travel"
After extensive research involving many manufacturers and quality/price levels I decided on the MT190XPRO4 as the best combination of cost and features. I own/owned several tripods over the years, but my favorites have always been those manufactured by Manfrotto.
I have owned my present studio tripod (Manfrotto) since the early 1980's and next to the other Manfrotto model on the mobile base with one hand positioning fore and aft, left and right which I found superfluous to my needs and sold off, it is my favorite of all time. It is too long and too heavy to travel with, a problem I have now taken care of with the purchase of the MT190XPRO4.
I outfitted it with the same "old school" Model 108 Heavy Duty ball head as my studio tripod and it can be folded to 26cm and hung off my backpack.
I have taken it out for a test run and find it to be very stable with a fairly long lens (70-200) even though it weighs considerably less than my other Manfrotto.
Could I have found a "better" one? Sure, this model is available in carbon fiber from the same manufacturer not to mention a few others, but we're talking a few ounces, not pounds in savings, for considerably more money.
Pleased? Yup!
