Re: [CBQ] Greybacks

["William Hirt" <whirt@fastmail.com>]

Warren,

I have F units from Athearn, Intermountain, Stewart and Walthers Proto. 
The Athearn Genesis with the Highliner shells look the best. The 
Intermountain's run extremely well. The Walthers Proto are well detailed 
(comparable with Athearn Genesis), but do not run as well as the 
Intermountain units. The QSI sound on the Proto can sometimes cause 
overload problems in a power district.
If you do not mind doing the detail work, the old Stewart F's with the 
Kato (or their replacement Kato-like) drive are the best running of them 
all. With an F unit, there is plenty of room to put your favorite sound 
decoder and speaker in it.
