<p><font face="wingdings,zapf dingbats"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The big thing about a live steam loco is that, in most cases, you pretty much get what you pay for. Yes, Mamods and Rubies are inexpensive (I've had multiples of both), but (to use a car analogy) so were Yugos. IF you want to tinker till you get it right you can be fairly happy with these products....IF you want something that runs like a Swiss watch right out of the box, lasts both mechanically and holds resale value, and has great manufacturer support, then you'll need to save up your money a bit longer for something like a Roundhouse loco.</font></font></p><p>Properly taken care of, a quality live steamer will last a very long time. </p>
