Glad hjälpa.
markpierce Don't know about the locomotives, but the recent releases of the passenger cars are exquisite. I bought several of SP heavyweights recently (after a four-year wait).. The painting/finish and detailing is great; they have nice interiors and window shades (the diners have the plating on the tables); prototype-looking, operable diaphrams; adjustable couplers; and they roll smoothly. I wouldn't think of operating them under 30-inch radius. Being all brass, they are heavy, so your locos won't pull as many compared to the plastic models. You can't rely on stated arrival dates. I purchased the cars because of their quality and representing prototypes not otherwise available, at the expense of a deep hole in the wallet. Mark

Thanks for your answer.
That sound very nice. I have 36" minimum radius so that would be fine and that is just the kind of details I'm looking for. I want to be able to use a set like this for real close up photography rather then perhaps daily running on the layout.
I received a e-mail from the Coach Yard about the engines bot being DCC or even having a plug for it. That's a shame on such expensive models.
About the release, I know, I think they have been pushing that date forward time after time since I first discovered them about two years ago I think.
Hi,
I would like to get some general info on the Coach Yard Brass engines and cars? I'm considering getting the Capitol Limited from them that is due this summer but I would like to know what you guys think of them. Are they worth the premium they charge for them?
