Depends the Genesis locomotives has well known QA/QC issues just enough to make me back off and not buy them..Some Athearn RTR has QA/QC issues as well BLI,MTH,InterMountain have their problems as well.
The brass steamers of the 50/60s was the best running locomotives of the day not so much for brass diesels with KMT drives which were and remains true coffee grinders..
I stopped buying todays locomotives altogether exception being Atlas and the newer DCC/sound on board Bachmann.
I much prefer the older P2K locomotives which seems to be the best bargains..
And Kato.
