I like what everyone has to say about the Athearn BB locos. I have a fleet of locos from most of the manufactures and for the most part the BB locos do the job even better than the high priced ones. I have 150 + locos and run most on a couple of club layouts where details are not that important ,but surivabilty is. As a rule at both clubs if it is on the rails it can be run by anyone operating so the details seem to get beat off the shells anyway. I do have many super detailed locos that I do run myself and are used for "show", but mainly if I own it I'll run it, and with a little work the ole blueboxes are the best. One thing that I found to be very helpfull is to change the wheel sets out with NSL nickel wheels <br />Greg
