A-ha! A true peer! I'd say it's about 50-50 of which to purchase. 1. Go for the AC locomotive. Wheel style is dependent upon your interest, though you seem to be more scale oriented. American Models will probably sell you an AC/scale locomotive though it's an unusual combination. You will have to call them and get past the brusque exterior of Mr. Bashista. He'll sell you what you want if you hang in there. SHS has all flavors in one except for their steam engines.
2. Go for the DC locomotive if you don't want to be tethered to the arcane direction changing cycle of AC powered locomotives and you suspect you will install DCC.
