Beautiful lineup Charlie!!!

Please donīt get me wrong, i absolutely love the brass versions, and would love to have one myself, but iīve always wondered about the story of these non-plated "mish-mash" 35s...
What made them decide to ignore the plating on the boiler, but still assemble the engine with several nickelplated parts here and there, instead of going all in and assembling it as a full brass colored engine?
