Quit slamming the TYCO!

While I will admit that Tyco engines are very poor runners, they are what brought me onto this hobby 35 years ago. Heck, I did not even know Athearn exixted until I was about ten years old and got to go to a legitimate full hobby shop in Memphis. About half of my rolling stock (400+) is RTR Tyco, AHM, Lifelike, Roco, etc. I have upgraded everything with Kadee's, metal wheels. metal handrails, stirrup steps. I have noticed that a lot of the cars from different manufacturers are from the same molds. I have made most of the old engines into dummies for sound installation. They may be junk ,but for some of us that is all we had available growing up! Remeber that some of us are in this hobby using a few skills and hard work rather than our checkbook!
