I'm interested to read this. My experience with RTR is fairly small (at least in HO scale, I have a lot of OO Scale British RTR stock that is pretty good). I have a set of the Walthers Superliners and matching express box/material handling cars, and these are fine. I also have a few of the Walthers C&NW Bi-levels which are superb - just have to track down the interior lighting kits now! <br /> <br />The one piece of Athearn RTR I have is also perfect - one of their Bombardier Bilevels in Metrolink livery. The only problem I have had with this is the couplers - I'm contemplating changing them for Kadee #58s as the coupler at the cab end of the car doesn't appear to want to uncouple magnetically! <br /> <br />I've got a suggestion for the person having trouble with the Coca-Cola cars. Try putting a little silicone spray lube in the bearings, this should help. I'm glad I didn't buy any of these, though I saw them in the Hobby store and was very tempted!
