Sorry we must have some model railroaders on this list as opposed to model 
collectors.  It has been my understanding that the purpose of brass models is 
not to paint them, but to put them away to sell for a small profit at some 
future point.
  In some instances, people have been known to trade one piece of unpainted 
brass for another in the hopes of obtaining greater profit. Painting brass 
reduces the future sale value.  Running a brass model on a layout can, 
evidently, greatly reduce the value.  This can be understood from the ads 
saying "never ran", which is presented as a positive.  One must understand 
these things which might not be evident to non-collector/modelers.
