First, I’d like to thank everybody for taking the time to respond to my question. The overwhelming senses was “You get what you pay for” which I have unfortunately learned the hard way. The list below is a summary of recommended locomotives. Bachmann’s - Spectrum 2-8-0 Consolidation Athearn’s – 4-6-2 Pacific and 2-8-2 Mikado IHC – 4-8-2 Mountain, Mogul’s and Camelbacks Tyco/Mantua – Mikado and Pacific We ended up buying the Spectrum 2-8-0 Consolidation from Bachmann with UP road. Are local hobby shops had two of the recommended locomotives, but the salesman recommended the Bachmann over the 2-8-2 Mikado from Athearn. Thanks again for helping create a birthday my son will not soon forget. KKerr
