Very informative thread.
I have one of their 0-8-0s and she's an absolute gem. My only complaint is that she slips a little more than I care for (when compared to the similarly sized Spectrum 2-8-0). Otherwise, excellent low speed performance.
I've previously never really heard any criticism of their product line (other than the first release berks having too thin of driver tires), so I'm surprised by the number of problems. I think that will factor into my decision as to whether to go with a P2K or Bachmann berk when I get to that point. (MTH will never be in the equation for me...smoke and proprietary DCC should justify reducing the price of a loco, not tripling it)
