I have the Sunset S-2. It is a quality brass model. As CapPilot said, this was originally a Williams model that was purchased by Sunset and sold as their first 3rd Rail engine. It is not as well detailed as later and current 3rd Rail engines. However, it is OK for most of us.

The Sunset S-2 is conventional. I had mine upgraded to TMCC using Electric Railroad products with the steam turbine sound. It runs and pulls well. It has traction tires on the rear drivers. It definitely need at least O-72 curves and switches to run without derailing.

This model even with the upgrade cost me much less than the Lionel models. If cost is not a concern, I would go with the Lionel models that have command control installed. If you just want to run conventional or an engine to upgrade, I would recommend the 3rd Rail model.
