Athearn Light Mikado was reviewed by MR Dec 99 and received good comments. The only concern I would have is the engine only weighs 13 oz. You may have to add weight to avoid wheel slippage. Athearn Light Pacific was reviewed by MR Aug 01. Here again the engine only weighs 12 3/4 oz, so you may have to add weight. I have copies, should you want. The Rivarossi line is very- very expensive and those with the All New Allegheny Drive should be better performers than its predecessor models. Go to the IHC web site,www.ihc-hobby.com and click on HO, locomotives, steam. These weigh a little more and look at the specs. You want a model whose tender also has electrical pick-up from each rail. Chuck Walsh-Grand Rapids Mi locomotive3@prodigy.net
