Both the Lionel USRA 0-8-0 and 2-6-0 Mogul conventional models are on sale at several dealers. A search on this forum indicated both good and bad experiences with the Mogul both no information on the 2011 conventional 0-8-0. I know the 2006 0-8-0 had a machine gun like exhaust sound. Has this been improved on? Is the Mogul worth $480 which is the sale price. Thanks.

I wouldn't go for that 2-6-0 if I were you, as $480 really isn't a good price for it. At several stores that I've seen, they've been around $450 when it's not on sale. At Grzyboski's Trains, several 0-8-0 road names are on sale for $345 and the normal price for one of those is $450 at Grzyboski's.
To muddy the waters a bit, I have one of their 0-4-0 A5 switchers (from last year's catalog) and they are nice, nice locos. Smooth running and really good looking.
