The current standard Bachmann locos are fine - they've done a lot to solve the performance problems, and as long as you get a good one (of 11 Bachmann UK and US diesel locos I've bought, all have been smooth, quiet, and reliable) you won't be disappointed. As I said, just make sure what you're getting is one of the latest ones with the 8-wheel drive and pickup, can motor, and full pilots (the easiest way to spot the new ones). I'm giving serious thought to using the mechanisms in British EMU kits now - they'd need two £30 power trucks otherwise, and with the Bachmann locos at £20 or less it makes sense if the truck wheelbases are close enough.
