I love how your grandmother even got into the train action. I guess we all get something from our grandmothers. I got flying out of mine. She only flew for a while but she did it. It was nice to have her while she was still alive. I may not remember her too much but it makes me happy knowing she did something I like. I feel like everyone has something similar. I hope to see more content from you soon.

The Athearn Genesis locomotives were made by Samhongsa in Korea. The main gear on the axle is prone to splitting like the diesel center gears did on Proto2000. Replacements are available from NWSL. The other issue is the wires get pinched en route to the tender. Love the steamies!

There is nothing wrong with doing some collecting and having some projects to work on if you like spending time doing that. That being said, there is also plenty of truth to the advice you hear often given on model railroading sites. Something to the effect that you are better off having 3 or 4 or 5 quality locos that work very well rather that 20 or 30 that don't run well, if at all. Particularly if somewhat realistic scale speed operation is important to you. A younger child is happy running everything at 100 mph scale speed around the layout, which just about anything will do with decent trackage. But as you mature into the hobby, reliable, realistic operation becomes important. Most people serious about the hobby start focusing on quality trackwork and fewer but better running locomotives. Maybe fewer isn't always the case, lol but better operating is.
