The River Raisin 44 tonner was a gem that many overlooked in the beginning. It won't haul long mainline trains but it will negotiate any radius. The other gem in disguise is the River Raisin C&O 2-6-6-2 H-4 and H-6. This little articulated is right at home on a 30 inch radius! It runs quiet, smooth and is built like a brass locomotive should be built. Finding one for sale probably won't happen any time soon.
