And you thought that this hobby was expensive

[ezdays]

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 0-4-0 Switcher?!!

But it's BRASS, and everyone knows that brass costs 1675% more than plastic to make something out of.
