(As I was saying when I accidentally sent the reply) Good Nscale steam I have found include the following engines: 1.) Kato Mikado 2.) Spectrum 2-8-0 Consolidation 3.) Model Power Pacific 4.) Model Power Mikado 5.) MDC/Roundhouse 2-8-0 6.) Life Like Berkshire (this is questionable as it runs very smoothly but doesn't pull very well at all and can be finnicky and hard to put on the track.) Steam engines to be avoided: 1.) Standard Bachmann steam that is not Spectrum 2.) Bachmann Spectrum 2-6-6-2 H-5 mallet 3.) Life Like Little Joe. Those are just some of the steam engines I am personally familiar with. Actually the most available and a really fantastic locomotive is the Spectrum 2-8-0 Consolidation. I have to agree with many others in Nscale that the Kato Mikado is the pinnacle of Nscale steam. You can hardly go wrong with either of these engines. Remember to "try before you buy" any steam engine. Good luck!
