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.

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. sim-al2 Also since they cut track maintaince the trains had huge trouble making over the railroad by the end 純那 yeah They did a Rock Island volountarily
