I only have 3 DCC locomotives and am pretty new to the scene. I have a Proto and a couple other bachmann locos. But they all seem to run different...one runs like crap, the other is decent and the cheapest one runs the best I also notice that most of them do not "creep" very well. In other words, when trying to go the slowest possible,..they all surge and it looks unrealistic. So my question is, do you really get what you pay for in terms of performance? I'm less concerned about detail as most locos these days are pretty darned detailed. Thoughts???
