The Key Imports 2-8-2 is a good buy at $350.00. The engines were built by Samhongsa in the early years of Korean built brass, but these came in very well constructed and also run well. At that price you would not lose any money if you decided to sell at a later date. There was only one run of about 200 engines imported. When I have found them for sale they usually didn't sit long if priced right. Same for the D&SL mikado. <br /> <br />Factory painted brass from Korean builders didn't start hitting the market until about 1990. You will often find the older brass engines that were painted needing at least touch-up, if not a re-paint unless really well done. If you can find a local painter that is reliable and does good work you'll have a fresh paint job that does justice to the model. <br /> <br />The PFM M-64 and M-68 Crowns seem to have prices ranging all over the board. Some collectors feel that because they are a Crown model they are more rare and valuable than they actually are. Key and Overland both imported these models with nicer detail and similar running qualities, with the Overland being factory painted. Within the past four months I have seen a PFM M-68 sitting at a hobby shop on consignment at $850, and another at a internet dealer for $1995. Both unpainted.
