I need a few 4-axle Alcos in my private road roster, and after reading the various reviews, I've determined that I want Atlas units - not Athearn or Bachmann. I see quite a few Atlas RS3's on ebay, but some of them are the "Classic" series and others are the earlier versions in the yellow box.
My main concern is running quality - quiet motor with good low speed control; I don't need super-fine detail and don't care about extreme prototype fidelity since these will be for a freelanced road. Will I be better off with the Atlas Classic series or will the yellow box units be good enough?
