<p>I love the Crest power pack in the Aristo starter set...The built in momentum (well soft start/stop anyway) takes some getting used to, but just about every small loco I've run with one will creep along really well with it. Those oft-maligned aka "toy" R-1 curves are great for around the tree this time of year too. (Or year round if space is an issue).... LGB sets are always a great value, too.</p><p>Bachmann's sets are another kettle of fish. The train itself is really pretty good, but you almost HAVE to chuck the track and power pack and get something else if you actually want to run the thing. OTOH you can always buy an LGB/Aristo/USA R-1 circle of track and a better power pack on evilBay for a pittance and still save money. </p>
