I hate when that happens !!!!!! I have an Athern SW 1500 and an Atlas RS-3, and I like them both. The two don't really compare for the Atlas Is smoother, quieter, better detailed, and more $$$ than the Athern. On the other hand, Athern is easier to work on for I still can't figure out how to get the darn shell off. Proto a;so makes a couple SW's to choose from. The RS-3 is longer than an SW, so this would be a possible factor depending on your layout size. Don/t know if I helped at all, but the amount you want to spend is up to you. Athern you could get for about $25 - $30. Atlas or Kato $45 - $50. Just looking at both sides..............Jamie
