I bought one of the PRC SP 2-6-0's (at the suggestion of a friend--I don't
really model SP, although I seem to pick up the occasional item, both in S and
O scale)
and it is actually pretty good, although obviously not a GPM quality item.
Normally, I would never pay GPM prices (although I did succumb to their C&NW
R-1)--
which is probably why I own no S scale brass imported locomotives (a few cars
only). Pretty much a different market, I suppose.
