I do have to agree with Greyhound on the Ath RTR line...actually id go with ALL the RTR lines that are coming out. Personally i get a lot of enjoyment out of putting the kits together (pay no attention to all the unbuilt kits behind the green curtian). As for the rest of his review...id have to agree with almost all of it. However since everything i purchase...i buy undec beacouse it gets painted in my Proto-Freelance scheme id rate Kato as #1 in my book. I do roster 2 P2K standard body SD60s and i love them...they run like champs and pull like there is no tomorrow. Only complaint with them is this...TOO MUCH WEIGHT INSIDE. I bought to Kaslp Shops SD60F body kits and ended up mounting them on Overland Brass Chassies beacouse i couldnt fit them over the weight and i wasnt about to fart around with trying to file down the weights. As for Spectrum...well...lets just say their steamers are great but their diesels are rather lacking...both in performance and detail. I had one Walthers Trainline loco...ran ok...then developed this awful grinding noise that i couldnt make go away. And from the reviews of fellow members at the RR club i belong to...this wasnt an isolated thing...they had some that developed the same problem. But great for beginners!!!! I dont own any Athearn Locos...never did like them...to noisy and ran way to fast for my taste. But as Greyhound said...great for beginners...and god knows you can drop them on the floor and they just keep on going LOL. Atlas...they are great runners...smooth and quiet...i like them...but they seem to be getting way to pricey when they first come out...so i usually wait for them to go down in price... And of course....I LOVE MY OVERLAND BRASS!!!!!!!!!!! LOL Johnny Dash 9
