I haven't actually run any trains since I moved from my previous residence in 2000, my locos are all languishing in boxes until I finish my new layout (track at least). But I remember my Kato SD40s and Stewart F7's being the smoothest runners; very quiet and reliable. The P2K geeps usually ran well, but needed an occassional nudge. As for my Spectrum GP30s, they started "showing their age" after about 6 months and I avoided running them when visitors were present. <br /> <br />BTW, I too have an old bluebox Athearn SD9 that's as reliable as it is loud. I used it for switching service in my steel mill, and will probably continue using it on my new layout. <br />
