I think one thing that is allways evident no one produces perfect models.No production run is 100% wothout some issues.For every story of praise for a manf.there will be a horror story also.I like steam also anything with sound,so my favorites are BLI and Life like,as Virginian said earlier the Class A and LL 2-8-8-2 for big steam are absolutely great engines.I don't think there is another model of a 0-8-0 produced that is as good as Life likes.Atlas is without a dought a leader ,they have allways produced top quality products with better than average support and service when trouble arises,Another life like is the new geep outstanding engine as with the rest of their P2K line.Besides the spectrum 2-8-0 I have never had much luck with Bachmann for those of you who do great For their price they produce some exellent looking models First generation deisel especially the f's in my opinion Intermountain's Regal line, stewart, and Athern Genesis are all good choises. I think there are to many variables to consider before any manf could claim the title {Best} I think that when you run your favorite loco you will be as close as its gets to the best for you. Good Luck Terry
