Ordered my first RMT Diesel

Very true.  RMT locos are "different," a lot of fun, and generally bulletproof although I had two recently-purchased BEEPs die on me (the boards went bad).

And, like you say, you can't buy just one.  I have 24+ BEEPS - some stock but many of them with customized bodies, etc., and a bunch of BEEFs including a wonderful A-B-B-A set which I bashed slightly to make all four units powered and much heavier than normal: eight motors, lots of traction - no waiting!!!.   BANGs are okay, too, but I only have three or four of those: not really that different than the shorter/lower end MTH and Lionel switchers. 

I had one area/loop on my layout I call "BEEPWorld": nothing longer than a BEEP or BEEF allowed on it: I cut down (in length) traditional O gauage cars I buy at swap meets to just that length etc., and its the most fun part of my layout.  The length restriction means the only steam I run there is things like Lionel Dockside switchers, but that's fine, too.

 "they are like Lay's potato chips, you can't have just one" That phrase is absolutely true. I purchased their bang s-4 which was similar to the k line s2. I must say it pulls more than 20 cars and looks amazing on o-82 curves. It is a pretty fine detailEd engine too. I'm now considering purchasing some beeps 

I got a ATSF ABA set not long ago and was pleasantly surprised by how detailed and well made they are. I had BEEP's but these take the detail up one notch. 

I love my B&O BEEF ABA set.  I know some people are a little put off by the short length, but I find that an actual proto-typical engine looks "off" on my comparatively diminutive sized layout (it is 4x8) and that the BEEFs look right at home with a set of O-27 passenger cars behind them.

RMT does a great job of putting the "Toy" back in Toy Trains.

SeaBilliau...BEEF A-A + B diesels are actually scale HEIGHT and WITH but only shorter. This allows all the neat features of O scale like cab interior, metal grilles, metal railings, moving roof exhaust fans, opening cab doors, fixed front pilot and more.

This way they look better on an 0-27 layout but can 'hold their own' on an 0 gauge pike too. 

And yes the word TOY is part of the RMT vocabulary.

Thanks.

Walter,
Did you ever get your layout started?

Scott Smith...Yes I have started to start but have not yet begun to begin.

Working now on track plan with switch templates from Steve Ross/ROSS SWITCHES.

Thanks.
