[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by rrinker</i> <br /><br />kknoble, <br /> <br /> Why no Stewart? [/quote] <br /> <br />The only Stewart units I have are three of their big Alcos (two C630s and one C628). Two of the three are out of service due to bad universals. A full 66% of my Stewart fleet is currently out of service. Compared to the 20 or so Atlas units I own (many of which are yellow box units and 15+ years old) of which none are out of service or have even given me any problems. <br /> <br />The Stewart units ran about $90 each, so yes, I'm a little turned off. Proto 2K with their cracked gear issue is not really acceptable either, but it's a lot less painful being that I paid about half the price for my one Proto 2K diesel. <br /> <br />Atlas is, without a doubt, the best out there right now - they simply make more of what I'm looking for - Alcos of a fairly wide variety. I've placed a reserve for both the Black River & Western RS-1s they have coming out in October. I've never reserve ordered anything before, but with Atlas, I'm confident in what I will be getting. <br /> <br />Kevin <br />
