I have to say honestly I went with Athearn because they are mainly the only company that really puts out Montana Rail Link engines. Atlas has the SD35s in MRL but Athearn is making it happen. Therefore I chose Athearn because I have purchased a lot of their equipment due to those reasons.
I am a big fan of Atlas and P2K too. No problems with my Atlas engines at all but for the most part my P2K units are good. (3 axle units are great, 2 axle units not so good)
Kato are good but I hate putting them together as kits. They run nicely too.
All in all, right now my all time favorate are then new Genesis. I love my 4 new MRL F45. Athearn did a great job with personally detailing each one to look exactly like the prototype. All I need to do is add ditchlights which truely isn't a big deal and they will be just perfect.
I am looking forward to the ACe's when they come out. I'm sure that they will have MRL in those too. Also I am looking forward to the GP9 and hopefully they will offer a chopped nose along with the high hoods and in MRL as well.
