Bachmann's more recent products are great. They're now one of the top manufacturers of OO gauge diesels for the UK market alongside Hornby, and offer nice-running locos at sensible prices. Chassis on these are to Proto quality if not better, are DCC ready, and run silently when properly maintained (as in, drop of oil now and again). Their new US-outline locos are also great value - only thing missing to my mind is flywheels, though they behave well without these and can't be beaten for the price. I guess Bachmann's older locos must have been seriously dire to get them the reputation they have, as I've never had any trouble with my fleet (4 US diesels, 6 UK diesels and 2 UK steamers).
