I own quite a few Rivarossi 2-8-2's and 4-6-2's. Most are the older version and almost everyone of them are at least 25years old. However they still run great and pull my 12 car athearn heavyweight passenger train with ease (I still have the below average stock wheels on the cars). The new Rivarossis are better but I saw one pacific go for just under $400 and I got a New In Box Heavy Pacific from the earlier run that works excellently (however the guy selling it didnt know what he had and I got it for cheap; about $55). I like the IHC premeir series but I would recommend a Rivarossi over them anyday, new or old. Ive also have a couple bachmann spectrums and both are good but they werent worth more than a used Rivarossi on ebay, so I'd have to say that I like Rivarossi the best because they are easy to mess with, simple yet detailed, and run forever.
