"S"cuse me, please. May I politely disagree with the above point of
view? The material that a model is made from has nothing to do with
it's running quality. I have several brass models that run perfectly
right out of the box. And, over the years, I have purchased some of
the other kind too -- unfortunately. But even the bad ones are fixable
and so, after some effort, I am happy with those as well. Some
importers test run brass locos on their own personal layouts. Others
ship whatever they receive from Korea/China without even opening the
box. As Ross Perot would say, "The devil is in the details." As Ed L.
would say, "Test running a hand made brass model is the only way to
know for sure." And, modern brass is a heckuva lot different
(improved) than the older stuff from the 1980s era. Just an opinion.
Cheers...Ed L.
