I sure see alot of Atlas and Athearn in this list. They both make nice locos, but as far as I'm concerned, Kato is king. I run HO scale, so my opinions are based on this scale. Athearns run good (I have 4 of them) but seem to be alot noisier than the Kato's (I have 3 of them) . I hate hearing an electric motor drown out my sound decoders. Although you can buy 3 Athearns for the price of 2 Kato's. I have not purchased an Atlas and don't plan to. I ran a couple on the test track at my local dealer and in my opinion they just can't compare to the smoothness of the Kato.
