I just got a GE Dash 8-40 Bach/Spect engine today and wow does it run very very smooth and quiet. I have Atlas,Athearn and Walthers engines also and I really think that the B.S. engine runs as smooth if not smoother than my other engines.Detail is good, the others to me are a bit better but I am really impressed with my spectrum. Plus the price was great and it is dcc ready. I always stayed away from Bachmann but I have been reading post here and there and you guys are right. I am glad I took the chance and bought a spectrum. Thanks!
 
Glad to hear you like your new Bachmann. I have several Spectrum engines and have found the same as you. Good running units with good detail, not the equal of a P2K or Atlas Silver line but very close and at a price that's hard to beat.
 
Bachmann has come a long way. I think that they are decent for the price. I was just running a 4-6-2 K4 Spectrum and it ran very well and the sound impressed me a lot more then on some of the BLI blueline steamers.
