Watch out with Athearns Mikes and Pac.4-6-2 I've had two mikes First one the drives where not seated right so every time it went into a curve she would lift right off the tracks.Send it to Athearn who then told me I had voided the warranty because tha command control I was using did not fit their plug so I had to remove it,there by voiding my warranty. The second Mike last about 3 weeks before the main drive gears broke in half, their 4-6-2 pulls a hole 2 passenger cars on a2% grade. <br /> Like Bachmann's steamers Spectums are really nice have a 2-8-0(the best),2,4-8-2s and one 2-10-0(not alot of pull on this one)Also Proto 2000 are nice the 2-8-8-2and the 0-6-0 run like a fine watch.Their 0-8-0 needs pickups in the tender stalls on #6 switchs.
