Hard to say. Probably my best slow runner is the first loco I bought, an Athearn SD9. I can run this slowly enough to count the splines on the driveshafts, and it doesn't stall. Next best would probably be my Athearn SD40-2 and SD40T-2 - these have the new one-piece driveshafts and are a close second to the SD9. After those would probably be my Bachmann GP50 - no flywheels, but it will creep very slowly and without stalling. These locos now have decent can motors in them, which seems to make all the difference.
