That's a way to get a less common loco but for mainstream locos it seems very
inefficient. By the time one buys a loco, tears it apart , buys a replacement
shell and paints and decals it the investment in time and money is very high.
For short run items brass makes more sense to me at it has a collector value as
well as a runner value. The RR 44 tonners for example have held their value
quite well. .....DaveBranum
