I have Bachman Spectrum, Rivarossi, Mantua, Roundhouse, IHC, Bowser. Depending on what you are using the engine for will depend on what you want to purchase. All engines need to be detailed to a certian degree. Most of the more expensive engines do not need as much but need some. If you run smaller trains than you don't need big engines to pull them. All of the engines that I have I use for different things. Most plastic engines will probably need weight added to them. Most of the metal body engines are normally okay. My suggestion to you for what it is worth is start with a small engine and decide exactly what you want to do. There are good things and bad things about most model makers. In this area you will read a lot of good things about makers and a lot of bad things. So do what you want a hope for the best. Ross
