Good Morning: In referance to the "Brown Book", since it's out of date by almost ten years and brass has done a lot in that time, I use it just to see what was built, how many, and what years. If you want to know what brass was and is selling for check Caboose Hobbies History of Sales, it used to be availabe on a CD. The guys at Caboose work with brass all the time and they don't make any money unless something sells so they want to have a reasonable price but also a good profit. They have always been good to work with. Caboose sold, among other engines, a ATSF Tenshodo Crown PFM 2-10-4 for me for $2995.00 and that was cheap for the time. I've bought several locos from them and off eBay. Some of the eBay purchases had to be worked on, but I knew that going into the purchase. Caboose also has an employee, (Ron Mayers) that wrote a bunch of articles about fine tuning brass models. A lot of the ideas worked for die cast locos also. If you give Ron a call with a specific problem, he'll be glad to help ypu with it. Have a good day Bob
