Very True! In fact, the railking Scale line (also known as the Imperial line) is probably the best value in O gauge. I have a number, including a B6 steam switcher and an Alco RS-1 diesel, and they look as good (only slightly less add on details, but virtually unnoticeable) as my more expensive Premier engines. I run premier and Railking scale together all the time and they look great.

The RailKing Scale and RailKing Imperial are different lines.

RailKing Scale are scale sized with modest detailing. From what I know, many of these are old Premier tooling from the 90s.

RailKing Imperial are highly detailed like their Premier counterparts but are NOT scale. The proportions are compressed for tighter curves and running with more traditional sized rolling stock.
