hello prr1950
not especially . as long as it is mechanically strong. but but but I prefer the English steamers: for me the prettiest in the sense that they are typical and original, not to mention the colors without comparison with those of the "continent". and the names of the trains: for ex "there was "the lord of isles" from hornby. it makes you dream. otherwise there is mth in die cast may be better than tinplate/ but I prefer the English one.
is there a brand that also manufactures in die cast .
tx for your response
bye
