Post Body
Enter your post below.
My rankings of HO diesels, based on models I've bought within the last two years: <br /> <br /> (Broadway not included as I don't have any to compare) <br /> <br />1. Atlas Master - far superior detail and drive than P2K, better detail than Kato. The best of the plastic. (BTW, there IS a difference between Atlas Classic and Master locos - it's not just the decoder! Not as great as between P2K and P1K, but there.) <br /> <br />2. Kato - superior drive, detail not as good as Atlas Masters. <br /> <br />3. Life-like P2K - great detail, but no way as good as an Atlas Master, drive not as good as Atlas Master or Kato. <br /> <br />4. (tie) Stewart - great drive, detail not as good as P2K <br /> Athearn Genesis - drive not as good as those above, detail better than Stewart. <br /> <br />5. Atlas Classic - good drive, detail not as good as Master <br /> <br />6. LL P1K - good drive, detail not as good as Classic <br /> <br />7. Athearn RTR <br /> <br />8. Athearn BB <br /> <br /> <br />
