Rob, although I grew up in the District I currently live in Great Falls. I proto-freelance the W&OD (i.e. I stick to the W&OD route map / building style, etc., but I use small steam as well as their early diesels), but I also have a scenario in which its an N&W line. The N&W predecessor actually tried twice to purchase the line in the late 19th century with the intention of building a connection from Berryville (only about 11 miles but would have required briding the Shenandoah, and tunnelling the Blue Ridge) for direct access to Washington City as it was then called. This allows me to combine the line I love best, with my favorite Class I equipment. Note that its either-or: all-W&OD or all-N&W. This latest purchase finally completes my stable of M-class. <br /> <br />I've just learned, by the way, that The Caboose is actually the same outfit that is offering these models on E-Bay. So they must have been chosen, or cut a deal, to offload PSC's stock. <br /> <br />Tom, the issue you bring up is indeed a problem with brass. At times you just have to rely upon the reputation of the importer, coupled with dealing with a knowledge / reputable dealer (such as The Caboose). The digital camera and e-mail have helped a lot, though; most dealers will take a digital photo (s) and e-mail them to you. I also monitor E-Bay and save good-quality pictures of models that I may be interested in in the future - or perhaps am interested in now, but cannot afford.
