Picked this AHM SW1 up at the train show for about $10. Runs really well, and has received a custom paint job for the Florida East Coast. All it needs now are some knuckle couplers.

Here's a short video I took of it coupling up to and pulling away an Athearn Peabody Thrall gondola. I apologize for the shaky cam, I had no tripod or anything similar to mount my phone on.

Nice looking little engine. I've wanted to get one for awhile.

The Walthers one is probably far better, in both drive and details. I know my Walthers H10-44 (it's that black engine peeking just into frame) can crawl like nothing else,and is quite nicely detailed. I know many people completely discount the AHM SW1, saying it's oversized and under detailed, but I like mine.
