A friend at work just received his Trix (Marklin) UP Big Boy. It runs very smoothly, and the only sounds you hear are the ones you're supposed to hear. The included sound decoder provides some pretty awesome sound. This is one of the finest models I've ever seen or heard. Other locomotives that I have seen that are smooth running & quiet (unless sound equipped) are many in the Proto 2000 line (I have two new GP60s that are very quiet), Atlas, Kato and Stewart Hobbies (at least those with the Kato drive mechanism). From what I've heard of Broadway Limited, they also fall into this category, although I have not seen them run yet. My old Athearn Blue Box locomotives are a little bit noisier, as are my IHC steamers. -Joe
