In my opinion, Kato makes the best N scale locomotives. The detail on the ones I own is absolutely outstanding, the lettering and paint jobs are extremely crisp, and perhaps best of all, they run incredibly smooth. Sure, they do cost a bit more than others, but it's worth it. Kato mostly makes diesel locomotives, and a few high-speed Japanese electric locomotives. The only (so far as I know) steam engine Kato makes is called a mikado, and they have superb detail and running qualities as well. Oh, and by the way, "protos" (they're actually called Proto 2000) are also a very good choice, and generally somewhat cheaper than Kato models. It's a line manufactured by a company called Life-Like. In terms of detail and operation, they pretty well measure up with the Katos. Hope all this helps!
