Brass Trains - Brass Vs Plastic - With Adam Pomeranz From BrassBasement.com

Id love to get my hands on a B&M P4A or R1D but they go for $1500 plus.

“If you don’t have $50,000 in train debt, you’re life isn’t worth living” The first commandment of brass trains!

This video is awesome. I've watched Adam's videos a few times before and enjoy them a lot. I have nine brass models and look forward to having far more!

Very good video. The only other issue is construction and durability. There were some flimsy brass models, made primarily in the 80s by fledgling Korean builders. They were using very thin brass and weak soldering techniques. This is not occurring now. Also, plastic models are much more fragile and usually don't pull as much as their brass counterparts . A case in point are the Intermountain Cab Forwards. They are no match for the brass KTM models made in the 1960s, although they are much better detailed. The plastic models are much more fragile and pull far less.

Clint found you yesterday on TSG,Johns I too am 90%Steam, I do hope someday to update my Tenshoto's United Pacific ect. Someday I will have my Cabforward in brass

I will say that brass is lighter than die-cast but dose have more detail so its kinda like dose the pros out way the negatives
