Locomotive brands is a matter of economics and personal choice. I have a variety of every manufacturer's locomotives, some are for display purposes only cause of poor running, others are outstanding running, aka Kato, but I have hundreds of Athearns also which I have dissassembled, rewired, and balanced and they run fine also. Brass engines do not always run perfectly but they usually look fantastic on a layout, so more display stuff. Not every locomotive on the layout has to be operational. If you like something put in on the track, somewhere. Run the stuff that runs well and enjoy the rest.
