Are these any good I swore I wouldnt buy any more after the h16-44 purchase. I had nothing but problems with that engine. Runs very now by the way. Bit of a coffee grinder though. are most bachman diesels noisey. I run dc. thanks Kirk
With Bman the quality is always on a very loco to loco basis. ...
Acela and HHP-8 are both really good locking models with a lot of DCC functions. Both can use upgrades - pilots can run a little low, MTL couplers can be a challenge and the passenger cars of the Acela really need Kato wheel-sets to run smoothly. But once these are done, the Acela is every bit as good as any Kato book set. In fact, I use modified Tomix bookcases to house my sets (I own three).
