What are your general thoughts on these. I don’t have any but I’m looking at an SP&S set.

"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.
Post your non-O scale stuff here!

If you not too concerned about absolute prototype fidelity, the Trainline is good value HO trains. While it is almost vintage in its own right now, this is my Walthers Trainline HO F40PH next to a Lifelike N scale one and an MTH one when I was modifying it to 3RS and custom painting it. Mine dates back over 20 years so I am sure the new ones are much better, but it is a good running decent locomotive.

Thanks for the input.

I've got a set that I found through Facebook marketplace, one that Walthers made as a promo for Raybestos brakes (came with a really nice kit of a 1940's-1950's style service station.)
The cars are nicely made, good and solid feel. The loco reminds me of the 1980's Athearn engines, with the nice and heavy die cast chassis, good runner with a nice amount of pulling power.
At some point I'll look for some more used Trainline engines or sets, because the one I have is really nice.
