In addition to what has been said in this thread already, I would add that to me now the only reason to buy brass is to get a prototype not yet done in plastic. You will notice the prices of SP brass are still where they were several years ago because no plastic models exist yet....I would also add that most high end brass (read still very expensive) is more finely detailed than most of the plastic even on exactly the same loco and class. What you are seeing for cheap are the older, in may cases less detalied models for sale. Andy Sperandeo has a good article explaining some of the ins and outs of brass a bit in the new MR. <br /> <br />As for running, I have an old Westside Pacific that still needs work to run, I have a climax A that needs regearing. For the amount I spent on those two, I could have bought 7or 8 Spectrum 2-8-0s that run pretty much flawlessly. Buuuuut no one makes these models in plastic ......yet.
