A few thoughts on brass model trains

<p>Ive found that brass is the only way to get a faithful reproduction of B&M steam locomotives (except USRA 0-6-0s and 0-8-0s, and the Bachmann 0-6-0 with slope back tender, close enough after modifications). Things like B&M 4-4-2 Trailers and P-2, P-3, P-4 Pacifics (wish I could afford them), are not available outside brass. </p> <p>There are enough Athearn Genesis, Proto 2000 and Intermountain Diesels that have sufficient detail to make purchase of most brass B&M diesels not worth the investment in my opinion.</p> <p>These are my brass purchasing opinions.</p>
