I guess first of all it depends on what scale you are modeling. Since all I model is HO I can only give advice in HO. My first true Model Engine was an Athearn GP. It will pull as many as thirty cars on level track with 18" Radius curves. I paid $35 new from a Hobby shop two years ago. I would suggest paying a visit to your local Hobby Shop, (not toy store). Ask them for some suggestions once you pose the same question as you posted here. I'm very sure they will direct you to a solid performer. <br /> <br />Good Luck, <br /> <br />John
