I only have one of their ex-BB RTR cars, a CSX Caboose. Nice paintwork, pity the wheels weren't in gauge (and they were one-piece wheelsets so you can't solve this other than by replacing them). I also have a couple of their Bombardier bilevel cars which are superb - nicely heavy, good detail, all you need to do is fit Kadee #58s in place of the plastic couplers they're delivered with and they run very well indeed. One tip I found was to add a drop of light oil to the inside bearings as this really improves their rolling abilities.
