Reply to "Durable Steam for Layout"

Appreciate the suggestions.  To help you help me- maybe some more detail on what I’d ideally like: between the ears era steam power, small(er) traditional sized that won’t look ridiculous on O31 curves, good slow speed performance, bell/whistle/chuffing, don’t care for crew talk.  

I’ve looked at the Williams, the ten wheeler is OK, but I’d prefer more detail in the valve and drivetrain. The Pacific looks nice. Not many engine/road name options overall. 

I haven’t looked too much at used. I’m mechanically inclined, but electronics aren’t my strong suit. I have been hesitant to buy something that is used or needs work. Also, concerned the costs of repairs could quickly surpass the cost of new. 

I‘m getting the feeling no one can really recommend the new steam offerings from Lionel or MTH from a longevity standpoint?
