Athearn has been around for a long-long time . Make a ton of models, moderately price. They also have an up-scale line called the "Genesis Models". Big jump in price. Another manufacturer is Lifelike. They have their basic model, then the P1000 series and the P2000 series. The 1000 is moderately price much less detail, good engine and comes with a limited warranty. The 2000, good detail/engine/warranty will cost you much more. See the ads in Modelrailroader by standard and trainworld and you should see the price difference. I have both series, both good runners and happy with the cheaper 1000 series. I don't own Athearn so I'm not qualified but I hear they hold up forever. Happy railroading
