Rene,
Thanks! I am and I did. And thanks to everyone else. It does appear that Accucraft brass is worth it! :>)

GREAT videos, Jim! You have some nice trains. Thanks for sharing.
I'm gonna have to say YES. With Accucraft, it's not JUST a brass thing. It's VERY good detail also. The run quality is also top notch. I have some Acccraft short flat cars, and I must say they are some of the most detailed cars I have seen. I want one of the 1:20.3 Whitcomb critters really badly. Some brass just isn't worth the extra cost, but I have to say I think most of the Accucraft stuff is. I want the Climax they are coming out with.
Here are two videos that have my Accucraft K-4, with Phoenix2k2, Aristo TE, and Aristo smoke unit installed.

The detail on the K4 is great. It runs smoothly after a bit of dialing in with the sound/RC.

I am thinhking of making a big splurge and "upgrading" to an Accucraft brass engine. I am looking for comments as to the reliabilty of thir engines, and is the brass worth the extra cost?
