Since I model 1999, I can't say anything about steamers. All of my Kato engines run well, require minimal maintenance, and can pull a reasonable number of cars. I'm waiting with breathless anticipation for Kato to release their AC4400CW sometime this month. I had a couple of Athearn Dash-9s that were so noisy I turned one into a dummy loco and used the other for parts for various kitbashing products. However, I like my Athearn SD70MACs. My Atlas 8-40B required some work initially, but now it's a good, smooth, reliable engine. I'm going to get a couple more when the budget allows.
