I recommend the Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0. <br /> <br />The detail is as good as the Athearn Mike, my 2-8-0 actually runs BETTER than my Athearn Mike, and if you want sound later, Soundtraxx makes a drop in sound decoder with imbedded speaker. And it runs thru some tight curves on my layout without any problems. <br /> <br />Do try to try it out before you buy it - a few have mechanical problems. Having said that, I still think the Bachmann is your best bet - that rule is true for ALL steamers, IMHO. I'm having problems with my Athearn right now! <br />
