Model Power Out of Business

[Brakie]

A $3-400 hybrid now has sound, comes painted, has DCC, and is a much better runner. There really isn't too much of a comparison.

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.

I will add my other choices that slip my mind last night-that's a getting old thing...

Atlas red and yellow box locomotives.. Those are still nice locomotives.
