I have many Athearn Locos, Blue Box, Genesis and RTR, and I like them all, I also have many Atlas, Kato, and Botchman Locomotives, plus a slew of P2K Locos, All of them have their good points, but none are perfect out of the box, There is allways something that needs to be added, or changed a little to get the most accurate model, or one of my pet peeves is an underframe that is a generic color, and has to be painted to match the prevalent color of the Locomotive, That said, If I could afford brass, I would buy it, I have several OMI Locomotives, and they are a whole different ball of wax, superior to any and all plastic offerings, both in running ability, as well as superior detailing, but I for one will buy whatever it takes to fulfill my modeling needs and desires, whether it is plastic or brass, so we do not need to limit ourselves with only a few choices in our models, of course, monetary factors allways have to be considered, In summation, I like whatever it take to fulfill my needs, It might be an Athearn blue box, or it may be the latest offering in brass from OMI, This is a fun hobby, so I recommend broadening our scope to include anything that is offered, Just my 2 cents worth, Happy fourth to all. <br /> <br /> <br />Mac
