Larry,that's not really true, but you do just get what you pay for.If you are just starting out,you should get an engine that won't let you down, and discourage you.I have friends in the hobby who have some really 'low-end' engines, lots of them...and they don't like them much. I'd much rather have just a few good ones.If you're just starting out, and want a reasonably priced, good quality diesel engine, get an Athearn,,,they are reliable,dependable units, and have been for over 40 years.If you want steam, be prepared to spend quite a bit more money, possibly on an Athearn Genesis, or a Roundhouse....regards/Mike
