I have nothing but good things to say about RMT. I have box cars, flat cars, ore cars, and one of their Speeders. I also have some of their track. High quality, good prices.
I have the "BANG" switcher and that is really nice. It negotiates tight curves well and has directional lighting. Made very well and solid.
I have several pieces of rolling stock including Cabeese and seasonal Ore cars. The quality of the trucks/wheel sets is especially nice. Detail is much better than expected for the price-point. The only downsize is much of the rolling stock falls into the "fantasy" category. For the mostpart they are not scale.

There must be a hundred 'RMT' threads....this same one a week or two ago. Search the forum and there's PLENTY to read.
I bought a Beep early in their lives...it sucked. Got my money back. Bought some of their ore cars and they are fine little cars. I'd argue they are better than the "premium" scale versions from the big manufacturers.
Pretty good quality; locos are geared way too fast - even by PW standards;
good K-Line freight trucks; items are often much overpriced; the fact that they are
keeping some Kusan, K-Line and especially Marx tooling alive is a valuable thing;
items don't seem to be readily available, so I tend to ignore RMT (for the gearing,
high prices and the fact that I'm more H-Rail than not). I have a NYC Bang strictly because of its Marx DNA; it will go 150 mph, so, it's on a shelf.

Everything that I bought from RMT is very good to excellent quality. Prices are better then the big three; Lionel, MTH & Wiliams. RMT even includes a figuire with each hopper car.
