I'm not sure I'd agree with that at all, Bachman's Spectrum range are fine models: check out MR's reviews of the Shay and the new Spectrum N&W J class if you don't believe me. Sure Bachman don't do too many modern units preferring steam and first/second generation diesels, but the Spectrum range are good models. For Example: my Bachman Consolidation would pull the wheels off an Anthearn Genesis USRA Mikado. The Mike is a real disappointment on the performance front. As far as deisel units are concerned I think Life Like's Proto 2000 range take some beating in terms of performance and accuracy. You might pay quite a bit more than a standard Athearn or Atlas unit but its probably well worth it.
