Rivarossi really did up the game in HO locomotives back in the day. When the primary players were Mantua/Tyco, Bowser/Penn Line with their diecast or high doller brass. Their Heisler logging engine still runs and holds up better than anything Bachmann has made in recent years for the logging modelers. Rare to see one of the Heislers that doesnt run. I have one of the Casey Jones ten wheelers, with a NWSL regear kit in it so it will run at realistic slower speeds. The missmatch in gear ration to the motor was the only real downfall to the Rivarossi line. Stick one of the regear kits in and they run sooo much better. I also have one of the deluxe USRA 0-6-0's thats been regeared. Rarely run now, but memories of my years modeling in HO scale at the local club. AD
