The Atlas N Scale Dash 8-40B's I have BNSF, SSW and UP and they are pretty sharp on detail straight out of the box, paint is sharp, and they run at crawl speeds without a hitch, even over un-powered frogs. Hoping the new MP15's are as smooth of runners.

Ditto, except in HO scale, and the Susquehanna patched for CSX one's.

I ditto Tom on the S1, but I've grown to like My Atlas Master GP-38 more.

I'll have to go with my Kato Alaska RR SD70MAC. It's beautifully detailed (even more so when I actually add the detail parts[:I]), the paint is great and it runs like a dream.

Well...so far...I'd have to say my P2K Alco S1 switcher. She is VERY nicely detailed. And, when it comes to crawling, snails are known for leaving tire tracks next to her. A killer of a deal from Trainword makes the S1 70% off list price. Nuff said.

My Stewart EMD VO-660 switcher is a very close second. Purrs like a kitten.
