Hi James, Sorry if my post seemed derogatory towards Bachmann. I was just trying to illustrate to the person who asked the question, that many people do not buy Bachmann. I am sure there is a small following for their line though. But, I model solely in diesels, and I have not found one Bachmann worth its salt as far as that goes. I stick with Athearn, Lifelike, Atlas, Kato and a few others for my diesel fleet. I haven't had the pleasure of obtaining any Proto 2000 diesels as of yet, but what I do have of Lifelike, my Athearns run a lot more smoother than. The Lifelikes are much faster, but the motion is somewhat jerky in spots, and the Athearns run smoothly over the whole track area. I do plan to get my hands on some Proto2000 diesels soon though. Now then, what I HAVE owned or seen of Bachmann, and this is including the Spectrum range...I have been VERY DISAPPOINTED with. Sorry. -Wolv33
