Atlas in N scale! They always seem to have new items that I must have.

I have more Proto 1000/2000 locos than anything else. Good running, reasonably well detailed, within my budget.

My rolling stock is mixture of just about everything but in numbers Athearn tops it off. Inexpensive which allows me to build up a fleet more quickly, reliable, rugged. I'm willing to forgive the molded grab-irons and monster door claws. The claws can be trimmed off, but I like being able to open doors on boxcars if I want to.

Since I model in Z, my choices for American equipment are Micro-Trains and American Z Lines (for modern locomotives). The detail is amazing. There are brass kits available from Freudenreich in Germany. Malcolm Cleaveland

Proto, because they have actually come out with Canadian equipment, by that I mean the RS-10's and -18's.

Athearn started my collection, and is what I have most of. Proto, Walthers, and Atlas make up the rest and catching up. LOL

I voted P2K but I must say that, Athearn Genesis and Kato give Proto a good run for the money, all 3 are close in detail. I think Genesis runs the most quiet. All 3 cost a decent amount of money for one loco, but if you want quality and super detail you gotta pay for it. Broadway is taking the lead with adding sound (hence the price tag) Genesis is gonna do the same I heard, so I'm wondering? How much will that be??
