[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Don Gibson Some Model Power shells mounted to thir chassis with screws, wheras Athearn, Intermountain and Stewart do not, and Proto Power West makes chasis for Athearn, Front Range, and Railpower products. If you are going to invest $40 -$90 (or for that matter ANY money) in a better drive and it won't fit - where are you? Since you started with Model Power in the first place, I doubt you'll want to spend anything more that what it cost you, to upgrade. Cheapest out there are Athearn Blue Box Upgrade would be L.L. Proto 1000 - an improved Athearn [/quote] Hey Don, Do the LL Proto 1000 (could you call this a P1K?) diesel locomotives have better quality and do they (P1K) run better than the Athearns for what they cost?
