Brass locomotives are dead. There's no point in buying them. They're a bad investment. In fact, we couldn't understand why anybody would even want to buy and sell them until we met Matt Dowd at Resourced Rail's. Not only is Matt an avid Model Railroader but he's been an avid collector and trader of brass locomotives in all scales for decades, and now he's turned it into a full-time business.

We decided to have a return visit to find out how this fledgling company turned into a full-time job for Matt who now employs seven people to help him keep up with demand. Plus he tells us all about his exciting trip to the "Land of the Rising Sun" and what model railroading is like in Japan as he introduces us to some of the great brass locomotive builders of our time. It's a great episode and one we're all sure you'll enjoy!!
