It was brought to my attention that there was a series of articles in the magazine "O Scale Trains" written by Pecos River Brass owner John Smith titled "Crapola From The Cupola" on his experience starting out in the brass business and dealing with the constant chaos of builders coming and going. If you still question why brass models cost so much this is simply a MUST read. There is even an encounter with Charlie Sandersfeld in the far away land which I found to be most interesting.
The story is spread out over 13 issues but I have done the heavy lifting here. http://www.lanestrains.com/O_Scale_Trains.zip You can download them all and spend a few very interesting hours reading about it all.
