Last I saw you could pick up a Bachmann HO scale 70 tonner for around $59. But they want almost $500 list for this Williams O scale model??? Sheeesh, no wonder this hobby is in danger of receding, what with these millionaire-hobbiers' prices!!
Nahhh Williams, I'll stick with the older K-Line S2 diesel switchers you can obtain from ebay, usually for $75 to $125. These K-Line S2's may not have sound or DCC, but on my 3-rail 027 layout they operate very well, and they look just like the 70 tonners. {-Which IMO have a plain and simple [and somewhat boring?] body style anyway..!}
