Here is my opinion: Modern Diesels -- Kato has plenty of adherents. Mechanically they are excellent. I haven't heard too much about the new Tower 55 brand but for the price they'd better be good. First and Second Generation Diesels (1945 -- 1970's) -- Atlas is my favorite. But Athearn Genesis and Proto 2000 are also excellent. If you want a diesel with sound try Broadway Limited. Steam -- Outside of brass the best are Broadway Limited and Trix. If money is no object consider brass. They appreciate in value. Buildings -- I like Walthers Cornerstone series. But quality of the buildings depends more on the person putting the model together than the manufacturer. Cars -- Atlas, Athearn, Proto 2000 for the ones already built. For kits I like Accurail, Branchline and Bethlehem Car Works.
