Jamie, I have a Trix bigboy and a riv. bigboy there is no comparison. The Trix bigboy looks far better than riv. and as far as the performance with all the pickups on the Trix there is no comparison. I pulled 80 ore cars (34') up a 3% grade all with plastic wheels thats about 40-50 footers. When it runs it sound heavy on the track and no tires the riv. has two tires on the rear set of drivers. I have thought about selling the riv. I would like to get one more trix. The riv. pulls good but only because of the tires. The trix is the best investment to me. I got mine for 450 dollars on ebay. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CHOICE.....Eric W
