It is the one with the best detail and sound quality, and that is Atlas right now. I just received three new 8-40CW's and they really are fun to listen to and watch run. The detail is great and they are worth the money. <br /> <br />BLI lost their dhief founder a few months ago because of some major money problems and experienced many delays on the scheduled products. The SD40-2 was late in coming and the switcher was delayed many months. Many of the steam engines are almost one year late. If you check their web page, they are now moving their location, but I hope they will be able to keep on bringing in good models. As for my money, the SD40-2 is not worth the money if you can wait on a better model from another company. <br /> <br />If you remember a few months ago, BLI had a big blow out sale and raised cash by discounting almost all of the remaining stock to pay for the incoming models. Maybe they will do that again, since the SD40-2 models are on the shelves.
