I unfortunately do not have any S scale brass, but I do have a Third Rail brass ATSF Northern that runs like a champ.

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. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
