Thanks JIM Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 12:01 PM Agreed. I have a newer model Rivarossi Challenger with the motor in the boiler and brass flywheel. It's awesome. That's the only word I can think of....though not good enough.

The older models with the oversize flanges and pancake motors were not that great. I have a new style Rivarossi 4-6-6-4 Challenger and its detail is very good and it is a great runner.
