i was one of the unfortunate many that wasted their money on those Botchmann Spectrum 8-40C's and CW's. those things had the worst paint, and you were lucky if they ran for a week before crapping out. but, i did have an F40PH and except for the glaring faults in the shell, it ran really well. and i really liked the flashing strobes on the roof. Spectrum steam locos are among the top of the line. i cant figure out why their steam locos are so good, but their diesels are basically crap. (which gives crap a bad name.) i havent tried their electrics except for the acela. i liked the acela and i am hoping that their bullet train will be as good or better. i would recommend staying away from Botchmann diesel locos. if ou want something really top of the line, go with Atlas or Kato or Athearn Genesis. they all run beautifully and have great detail.
