Well said. The last time I looked my pockets were no deeper than anyone
else's. I just like working in it. It may mean that I have fewer models
than a non-brass modeller but that is a concession that I can live with.
Also, I don't expect to see any manufacturers in S scale jumping at the
chance to produce non-brass S scale steam locomotives in kit form or built-
up.
The last time I tried to solder plastic, I failed miserably;->
