David98 posted:The Williams are good runners, with ABS shells, and basis sounds. The Weavers are far heavier, with brass shells and no factory sounds. Both are conventionally operated. Both have dual can motors.
The question is: how do you intend to use them? For looks and light use, nothing holds paint better than brass; the Weavers are beauties. They come with a QSI DCRU. If you want sound, you would have to add a sound card and speaker, or perhaps upgrade to an ERR control module/sound combo.
If you want at least some sound and want an off-the-shelf option you do not have to tinker with, the Williams is also a very attractive scale model.

I'm looking at a Weaver brass 3 rail scale sized Brunswick green 5 stripe PRR GG1 that is several years old but has NEVER been run. It will have basic bell and horn sound, won't it?
I'm not a collector. Like you said - looks and light use. I understand it does not have magna traction. Should I be concerned? I'd like it to pull a flet of long and heavy Pullman cars.
