There, 
is one thousand six hundred seventy five reasons why I learned the art of scratchbuilding !!! 
For that price it better look as good as the photo of the prototype, make smoke, sound, and work perfectly for at least 1675 years !!
It would make my evil side very happy to see Precision Scale get stuck with every one of those.
There, is a true definition of "Highway Robbery".....Really !!! ?????? :o $1675.00 for an HO scale 0-4-0T Switcher?!!
The most I ever paid for a brass locomotive was $475.00, and that was for a B&O EL3a 2-8-8-0, that was out of production.
The people who were standing around me were horrified that I intended to paint, letter, and weather it.
They, were "collectors".

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
