Talking HO?,Diesel?, Steam? Jamie's reply is a good recap of the qualities. There's 15+ loco model manufacturers listed in the Walthers reference book and in a nut shell, it's what's under that shell that counts. HO radius curves are also a factor. Some larger 3 axle loco trucks(6 axle diesel) require 22" radius and some 11" long passenger cars require up to 24" HO Steam engines require a little more homework since range is from $70.00 to $400.00 + and the weight of the steam engine 12.75oz. on up makes a big difference in how good it performs. Warranties vary from Kato(60 days) to Lifelike (life) Check them out. If you deceide to do business thru a mail order, trainworld, standard etc know the shipping expenses, return policy and restocking fees. We can share our success stories and failures with you before you buy, so come back with more questions.
