A brass importer (Division Point) announced that they will import 4 versions of the Lima super power B&M Pacifics, P4a and P4b. The only remaining P4a is in steamtown being rebuilt for service. They will also be importing the B&M berkshires. Mucho bucks, save your pennies Alex!
Sweet!!! ;D
the only brass I really look for are the antiques like PFM and some sunset
I have a scratchbuilt prewar 0-8-0 thats large enough to make a mike
and I also have a heavily detailed Samsahoga USRA 0-8-0 thats a beautiful runner :)
other than that I stray from brass as much as I can until I can get my budget up. I'm going 30+ steamers strong and going on
Division Point is mucho expensivo! Also, aren't the higher numbered 3700s P4bs?
Oh by the way, did I ever commend you on your excellent choice of an avatar? I have that picture in a book somewhere, and planned on using it as a guide for doing a G-11 out of a Bachmann 0-6-0.
Some of their other engines were in the $1500 to $1800 range. 3713 is a P4a. It came originally with the elephant ears and shrouding, but it was removed in the 40's. The P4b's had no shrouding or deflectors when built or later.
