The IHC locos are marketed over here as Model Power (I think - not 100% sure). They're not great but have potential if you want to build an unusual loco that only they offer. For the same money there are better choices - try Bachmann's newer diesels (the GP40/GP50 and FT), under £20 and run smoothly and silently. Detail may be a bit sparse but can be added to later on, just beware some of the paint schemes as Bachmann have offered a few that didn't exist in reality and also make sure you get the most recent ones with the full pilots. <br /> <br />I'd advocate avoiding the DCC-fitted Bachmann locos as the decoder isn't great - better to buy the standard one and a decent decoder (with BEMF and silent drive), fitting will require some soldering but they're DCC-friendly in that everything is isolated after you unhook the pickup wires. Add a couple of resistors for the headlight bulbs and you're done, the results will embarrass a lot of more expensive locos!
