If money were no object, I'd be buying Overland factory-painted brass. like a previous post. However, given that one brass loco would probably cost more than my whole collection of plastic models, I can't afford to buy brass. Interestingly some manufacturers seem to be making locos with the best of both - Bachmann's new OO scale Class 66 will supposedly have some etched-brass detailing parts factory fitted to enhance the look of the loco. <br /> <br />From what I've seen here, brass locos seem to be rather like older Land Rovers - you can always repair them and get them running again as the basic design is solid and the parts are still available, or more recent parts can be used. In this respect, brass has an edge over plastic if you're looking for locos that will still be running for many years to come.
