Bloody beautiful Phil,

I always wanted one of those, but as you say, they were so expensive.

The closest I came, was to buy a HO gauge loco from a 2nd hand stall at a train exhibition;... and then paint it gold.

It still wasn't brass.

$400?

Try $3295 for the best O scale model in Australia (and very close to the world)

Wow, that looks amazing!

And indeed, peanuts to do.
Thanks for this wonderful idea.

I'll start right away making at least one for myself.
And after that a stainless steel one too.

Trainboi1 includes his Central Pacific #19 in brass (first pic, lower right) as part of his CP set. https://trainz-forge.com/p/new-releases
