Differences in Korean brass K-27 models?

Sam, I think you have to look at what MMI is now charging for the same locomotive and price accordingly.

I think the new ones are cast instead of sheet brass. The k27 on ebay is from some idiots in the UK that always price their US stuff almost twice what the item is worth.

I probably wouldn't pay more than $6oo if I were in the market for MMI. Unless it is all brass.

Hi Sam

These MMI locos as stated above are mainly cast not brass as the others are.They sell for around $600 brand new here is a link to one of the main sellers.

They sell for between $400 - $500 on ebay etc sometimes a bit cheaper depending on condition.

You cant compare them to full brass models even though they are superb looking engines

Also if this is an early release with sound They had lots of negative comments when released and never added sound again.Most people now rip out the sound electronics and replace with tsunami . 

hope this helps

I sold that very same engine some time ago in On30 scale for $450 and was glad to get it.  Now that they are getting a little more rare and MMI doesn't appear to be planning another production run, you might get a bit more but do not expect  the 1200+ you see for PSC Crown or Berlyn Models which are 100% brass.  That's comparing a Chevy to a Cadillac, both GMC but not the same car.
