<p>In some cases brass was pretty much the only game in town unless you were willing and able to do a big kitbashing or scratchbuilding project. Even now there's still stuff such as some steel mill equipment or rare and obscure cars and engines owned by maybe one or two railroads at most that will likely never see the light of day as a plastic model. That is unless a company like Walthers, Athearn, Atlas, etc. is willing to either A. Settle for not selling too many (they won't be) or B. offer them in fantasy schemes for railroads that never actually owned them or promotional schemes for companies like back in the Tyco days. </p> <p>Personally I don't own any brass locos or cars and most likely never will due to not having the money for them but I can appreciate the detail and craftsmanship they offer.</p>
