Try TIGER VALLEY MODELS they have metal kits, built ups and will even paint them for you.

www.lynnet.com/~tigervalley/

I haven't purchased from them myself, but have several of the Rivarossi units. They seem to have bad gears in them which need replacing. Can't find them. So I'd check out Tiger Valley if I were you.

Please be sure to read Vic's posting earlier today in the thread about buying Rivarossi locos. Evidently such locos bought from ModelExpo do not have a warranty.

Does anyone know where I might find an HO Alco C420 engine? I am modeling the Arkansas Missouri shortline railroad and I am having difficulty finding the above mentioned engine. Decorated, undecorated, it doesn't matter. THANKS!
