Hey there
Does anyone have opinions one way or the other about Stewart Hobbies? I have been looking for a certain line/paint scheme for about a year now, and have found one at Stewart.
I thought if any place was going to have members that have good, bad and indifferent things to say about a company, this would be it.
I have 4 Athearns and 1 Bachmann Spectrum. I like the Athearns, they are nice to work with... I have started putting in LEDs and such. Folks have said that Athearns are noisy and clunky, but the ones I have are just fine. A little more noise than the Bachmann, but nothing too annoying or distracting.
I am curious about the Stewart Hobbies engines, though. I have seen the advertisements in MR and other publications but no write ups that I could find. Not saying they aren't out there, just that my search skills aren't what they could be.
Any info would be great, thanks!
