I have had no problems with there steam locomotives but I have not heard nice things to say about the diesels.

They are not a premium manufacturer. The SD24 picture on their
web site shows a hook-horn coupler with a asking price of $35.00.

Good premium diesels usually go for $80.00 plus

I always thought IHC diesels were even crappier than their steam. If it doesn't have 12 wheel pick up, at least 8 wheels driven, and have at least 1 flywheel, you should probably stay away from it.
