Besides, the real answer is - you need both. One is an AC-12, the earlier one is an AC-6 (or was it a 5?)

Both is probably not possible though I certainly agree that it would be the ideal. I have a handful of Intermountian F-series engines, and they're very nice. But, I actually like my Genesis F-series more. I'm leaning toward the Broadway Limited based on the many positive comments owners have shared about their BL engines. That said, I would very much like to wait for a direct comparison before acting on one.

Two guys in my club have them, and have had them for several months. Don't know where they got 'em though.

I believe the Broadway Limited loco is an AC-4, but the AC-5s were practically identical anyway.

I've operated the Broadway Limited AC-4, and it seems to be a high-quality item. The sound system works well even in DC mode, too. A friend of mine who belongs to the San Diego Model Railroad Club (

There are two guys in our club that have the Intermountain AC-12s, but the only comment I can remember anyone making about them is that his didn't seem to pull very well.
