Bachmann and life like don't come close to Athearn. IMO (in my opinion) Bachmann is better than Life like, i have found that the end with the wheels that turn is higher than the other end. Also the cars don't go over switch tracks very well, but with a wheel change this problem is fixed. On thing that anoys me with Bachmann and Life like is that at high speeds the light llights the body not just the head light and the windows. As for steam, IHC makes farly cheap locos. I have a IHC 2-8-2 Mikado for $140(can), it worked fine until i stored it for a few months while we were developing our basement, and now it goes slow a makes grinding noises. Are we talking about N or HO? Bigboy: Bachmann steam engines are god are they?[:p]lol
