Long ago brass steam may have been shelf queens with dubious running
qualities, but I don't think this is the case anymore. Across the
scales, the operating class has risen out of the shadows over the past
decade and are demanding products be more than a pretty chunk of metal
or plastic. The word gets out pretty quick nowadays about a poor
runner and a second chance for a manufacturer is pretty much gone.
In the end, it all boils down to how well a product in engineered. It
doesn't matter if it's made out of brass, plastic, diecast metal or
silly putty, a well designed product will run well, a poorly designed
product will run like crap.
My Omnicon and Southwind 2-8-0's run very well, as does my AM and SHS
steam. Even my ancient Cleveland wood, metal and cardstock 4-6-0 runs
pretty darn good for it's age.
