Reply to "MTH early Railking steam locos"

Back in the day, my first three MTH purchases were Rail King steam engines.  I had to go cheap, because I couldn't justify buying Premier or even the added cost of the Rail King PS1 option.  At this point, I have no regrets and am quite happy that I bought the basic versions.  They run reliably, smoothly, and quietly (I only do conventional), and I haven't had to cope with failed circuit boards with features I do not need or want.  I enjoy running trains quietly.  It gives me a sort of Zen peace and contentment.  The basic electronic whistles are good enough for when I want a momentary break in the silence.  My preference for simple and basic conventional running also probably explains my purchase of quite a few Williams diesels.  I think of Williams as "post" postwar Lionel, since it reproduced Lionel designs, but with many more paint schemes; and Williams added new designs of its own, which were affordable, attractive, and enjoyable to run.  I found I didn't have to have the best or the most expensive to enjoy running trains.  Made me lucky I guess, since "simple" has given me fewer headaches.
