The problem in determining the 'best' is prioritising what you think is most critical. I had an LGB Stainz and then bought the LGB Mogul. I run on a temporary indoor layout and both engines would pu***hrough LGB switches without derailing when coming into a trailing point switch incorrectly aligned. Imagine my dismay when I found out the next engine, an HLW American, couldn't pu***hrough without derailing. The lead truck was not heavy enough or had insufficient spring tension to keep the wheels on the rail. This problem curtailed using it when the 'little ones' were at the throttle because they just wouldn't remember to throw the switch before the engine got to it. And again disaster struck with the next engine, a Bachman Annie. It could pu***hrough an electric switch coming down the diverging route but would derail coming through the straight route. And a manual switch was a guaranteed derailer. So it appears that if I want smooth sailing, my options are extremely limited. I grew up with Lionel O Gauge, not the 027 stuff. The O guage switches would align themselves when the engine came to a trailing point switch. 3 rail does have some advantages!!! Art
