Thanks, Randy! It helps to hear that maybe I'm not nuts to want to keep with my plan and use the older brass ... where else will you find a Reading I5c Consolidation with a canopy over the tender? I have no old, sentimental locomotives. Just some older brass locomotives. Early on, I developed a plan. I've been continuing to develop that plan for the last 35+ years.
My first locomotive after the Varney F3 (from a Kix cereal box-top offer when I was seven) was a Gem Reading I10sa Consolidation in 1973, then an RDG A5a, then another, then a B8a ... and it continued. The most recent addition is an OMI Reading D-Class American. There are now 15 Wooten fireboxed Camelbacks on the roster! They have not been easy to accumulate! You don't find one in every hobby shop glass case!
And they will all get the DCC treatment ... somehow!
