The PCM model is beautiful. I have one, and am well pleased with the 
detail. The PSC brass model has one advantage, however. The rear engine 
is rigidly mounted to the boiler, which is prototypically correct, 
whereas the PCM model follows current model practice of allowing both 
engines to swivel. If this matters to you, then the PSC is your choice. 
If not, I would go with the PCM.   Jim Nichols
