1. Worth way more money.
2. Sometimes can be sold for as much as purchased
3. Only way to obtain certain prototypes.
4. Detailing is usually off the hook.

I don't own any brass what so ever. I'd rather get 3 or 4 plastic steamers than 1 new brass one.

Brass verses Plastic
Posted by willy6 on Sunday, September 5, 2004 2:18 PM
I was just curious to know what are the advantages of a brass locomotive verses plastic. i do not have any brass simply because I can't afford them.
Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.
