Walthers Trainline includes the cheaper engines like the GP9M and FA. Detail isn't great, but they are smooth runners. Walthers Proto is the former Life-Like Proto 2000, and it's their top of the line stuff. They run like swiss watches right out of the box..Oct 7, 2017
Are HO trains valuable?
If you have old HO, N, or Large scale trains(with the exception of LGB and Marklin trains), there is at best a smaller collector's market for them. Unless you are lucky enough to find the “right buyer,” or have a very specific train that collectors are just drooling over, the resale value is minimal.
Are HO trains interchangeable?
Virtually all HO trains are compatible with certain limitations. You'll have to choose one track brand (we hope you will choose EZ Track!); a control system (DCC or analog), etc. Have fun!
How many Ho is a train?
In most trains, the power ranges anywhere between 5000 to 7000 horsepower.

Are Walther trains good?
As for their mechanicals, they are good, quiet runners, and they'll just creep along slowly without any jerking. I wish I had bought more of them when Walthers had them on sale for $39.99. Even though they have limited road numbers, they were easy enough to renumber with decals from Microscale.Oct 7, 2017

Are model trains a good investment?
You can still make money off your hobby even if investing in model trains directly isn't the best idea. You can still buy and resell them and make a modest profit. In that case, just need to think of it as a shorter-term thing than a long-term thing. Use a different window of opportunity and you can still make money.Nov 8, 2019
