I have both the Bachmann (NKP) and IHC (W&LE). The Bachmann is far superior in detail, but I got my IHC for $30.00 from Trainworld. It has 2 sandboxes on top of the boiler, which makes it more of a switcher. In fact, I intend to remove the lead truck and modify the pilot and tender to make it an 0-8-0 switcher (my yard has a steep grade, and I can't afford the Proto 2000). The boiler casting came from Mantua, I heard. <br />I'd go with the Bachmann, if you ever plan to go DCC, the IHC is not good, and the Bachmann is DCC-ready.
