OLD DAD: <br /> <br />I think your point about Brass in small scales indoors is valid, but then I'm not an indoor small scaler. <br /> <br />Another set of advantages to Brass in the garden is that it weathers to very nearly prototype look in a short time. It also bends well with a rail bender and I've never invested in prefab curves. <br /> <br />I'm sure slick meant no offense. <br /> <br />As to soldering joints... well it may very well build character, (I don't know since conductivity is not an issue with me) but burnt fingers from hot locos does a lot for the spirit also. <br /> <br />I think you'll find a LOT of gardeners both steamers AND sparkers like brass for several reasons, not the least of which is cost. <br /> <br />Not all, but a lot. <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />LDH
