Kato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you were going to pick a train that had the lowest/easiest maintenence, and rock stable dependibility, long term realiability, what would you chose?
I'm looking at HO specifically
Mehano?
Athearn? (RTR)
Atlas Trainman?
Walthers Trainline?
Bachmann?
Bowser?
Any specific models?
I am not looking for most features, most detailed, or most accurate. I just want reliable.
This train will run non attended for about 8 hours a week for a non-profit. The layout is already there and built. It just needs a little TLC as no one is taking care of it. I do realize there is track cleaning and lubing every 24 hours of run time.
I'm hesitant on Bachmann. My steam driveline gears always wore out. Bachmann is a great value, but they have maintenance issues in the long term.)
