THere was a thread regarding the Athearn locomotives, I forgot the name of the thread. It was pretty much a landslide that the old Athearn blue box locomotives were hands down the best bang for the buck. As I said in that thread, I have two I KNOW are over twenty years old. Both are somewhat loud by today's standards, but both run very well still even today. Now, as for up to date stuff, I agree with everyone else. I have a Bachmann Spectrum Shay locomotive, and I must say it has made me VERY biased. It is totally awesome. Proto 2000 is also another good affordable locomotive that runs very well. It all boils down to an old saying we use to use in the drag racing circle: Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go? Same could be said here.
