How Cheap Is Too Cheap?

I'd say it depends on how recent the sets are. If the locos are the latest ones with all wheel drive and full pilots (body mounted couplers) they might be worth a look. I have three of their standard GPs (two GP40s and a GP50) which are surprisingly good considering how cheap they were. The drive train is near-silent, the body detailing is good (very neat moulded handrails). I'll admit they could do with flywheels, and you may have to alter/add some details to get closer to the prototype, but considering the price I think they're worthwhile. Just figuring out how to go about fitting flywheels now! <br /> <br />If you decide to buy one of the sets, take a closer look at the loco before spending any money to check that it is one of the all-wheel-drive examples - their older truck-motored locos are not worth bothering with.
