[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by sailor38 Back in the sixties, PFM and, I believe Tenshodo, among others, offered brass locos in the $300.00 range. They featured lost wax castings and a high degree of detail but were unpainted. [/quote] I think they may have been much cheaper than that. As a teenage model railroader in the late 1950's and early 1960's I purchased a brass 2-6-0 with a Vanderbilt tender for $35.00 and a Shay for $60.00. I had a paper route and the hobby shop owner allowed me to pay for them a with few dollars a week. They were both undecorated and brush painted and hand lettered them. They were sold off when I got out of the hobby, wish I had them now! [:(] Bob Boudreau
