I have a Proto2000 Heritage 0-6-0 switcher that I am very happy with. <br /> <br />On my wish list is a Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0... and a 4-6-0.... <br /> <br />These two manufacturers I have had experience with, and the engines perform well. I drove a 2-8-0 with sound at a local meet, and that's what put it on the wish list for me! <br /> <br />I also have a Mehano/IHC 4-6-2 that I got used. Probably paid a little too much, but it pulls like crazy, even if it is not the quietest or most prototypically correct engine. <br /> <br />I would say that whatever you choose, try to see it in person and run it on a test track at a store if possible. Despite the reputations of Bachmann Spectrum, P2K, and others like Braodway Limited, it seems that quality control is still a bit of a problem. <br /> <br />Steam rules...! <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
