I wasn't thinking about brass models in my previous post because they are a niche market that are typically limited production, highly detailed and high priced models.
Thanks for posting the pictures of those two locos that are on complete opposite ends of the model spectrum. It is easy to find shortcomings when comparing a model to another model that can be considered a benchmark. I am surprised how good the Menard's looks compared to the 3rd Rail model. I know it is lacking in details, but it scales out fairly well and the contours look decent as well. With some tweaking they could have a model that appeals to a wide audience.
