The Slumbercoaches are very nicely done and are very close to 
prototype. These are good alternatives to exisiting brass models.

Frankly, I dont understand why more prototypically correct plastic or 
resin models are produced: with the rapid engineering tools available 
today it really is quite easy to do this and it does not take 
extremely large runs to make these cost effective provided you put 
your price point at the correct level - but these profitable price 
points are nowhere near the price point for brass.
