I'm inclined to say Athearn - they seem to be the best value for money models out there, though I'd say that Walthers make better passenger cars (Apart from the Athearn Bombardier Bilevels, which are very nice!). I do have a few Proto 1000 locos, but the prices have put me off buying many. As for Atlas and Proto 2000, these are very nice, but the prices (In the UK at least) are kinda high! For example, an Athearn SD9 (the first loco I bought) can be had for around £30, while the Proto 2000 examples are at least twice as expensive. I'm aware that they are more highly detailed, but as I enjoy super-detailing locos the Athearn range makes economic sense.
