CW, <br /> As you have read, a lot of model railroaders have no particular brand preference. They buy the desired locomotive (GP 38 or SD 40-2) to fit their railroad. Same thing with cars. Others have a distinct brand preference. I really, really like my Atlas engines. They are not cheap. I feel that I get what I pay for with Atlas engines. I would suggest that you go to train shows and watch and listen to the various equipment running. Talk to the modelers there. Get them to tell you why they bought the product they did. You have a better feel for what you would enjoy using. <br /> Just for interest's sake: I'm a 51 year-old professional. I don't own a large locomotive fleet, as some modelers do. I have 7 locomotives and am not likely to greatly expand my fleet. I'm pretty choosy about what I buy and operate. Glad to have you among us!
