I've never owned an Intermountain unit (yet [;)]), but I have a bunch of Stewarts, both older ones I bought in the early-mid 90's, and a couple of new FTs I just got off eBay. I LOVE Stewarts -- smooth running and quiet, which makes sense since all the older Fs (and I'm pretty sure the new ones too) have Kato drives. Easy to convert the old ones to DCC, and the new ones are DCC-ready. <br /> <br />The only complaint I've heard/read about them is that they don't have the fine detailing that Intermountain and others (Proto 2000?) have. And my only complaint is about the older ones -- they weren't 100% sticklers for accuracy, and sold F3s in color schemes that didn't match the real world. For example Santa Fe only had passenger F3s, and freight and passenger F7s, but in the early 90's Stewart sold SF freight F3s. So I pretend they're F7s, number them right and don't let it bother me.[:D]
