<p>[quote user="Howard Zane"]</p> <p>I have noticed that an eBay seller is disassembling brass locos and offering them for parts.</p> <p>Any thoughts on this? I cannot muster up an opinion other than I have always seen brass models as an art form....desecration or smart business???</p> <p>HZ</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>I guess that would depend on the model (s) in question. If model was severly damaged and the cost of repair was significantly more than the value of the individual model, parting it out might yield more money than trying to sell the damaged whole. </p> <p>On the flip side, the person may not know anything about trains, took it apart to fix it, then decided that it would be easier to sell it. It could be either.</p>
