[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Jetrock I think I know the Model Power four-wheel diesels you're talking about--one is basically the Athearn "Hustler" while the other is a bit lower-profile? They would be okay for industrial locomotives but they are probably not the smoothest running things ever made. One nice thing about the Bachmann 44-tonner is that it is great at low-end crawling, which, as a switcher, it will do more of than highballing! [/quote] Those are the ones. Was considering one of the lower ones as a curiosity - maybe to run with my Walthers Oscar and Piker cars (The loco is available in Amtrak livery which would match the cars, and even an Athearn SW7 looks oversized with these!). I'll probably pick one up next time I'm in the hobby store fairly near me that stocks them - they're the only place I know of that does and I don't get up there very often - quite a long way and not a good road!
