How are the ConCor diesel locomotives when it comes to quality, reliability, performance?
Thanks.
For HO scale, the only ones I own are their MP15(?) switchers from 5 or 6 years ago when they were assembled in Mexico. Nice detail but horrible motors back then.
Con-Cor also made an HO and N Scale Con-Cor 1934 Pioneer Zephyr.
They also plan to come out with GM’s AeroTrain of 1955 in HO and N, and Union Pacific’s M-10000 of 1934 in HO and N as well.
Con-Cor also has other locomotives and railroad cars as well (N and HO).
As for their operation, I don’t know.
I suspect you are probably talking about relatively recent offerings; the only ConCor I own is an OLD N Scale DL-109. It represents 1970s-era technology and although I haven’t run it now in quite a few years the last time I did it was a good ten years old and was running just fine. This particular model was built on the Sekisui/Kato PA/PB mechanism and it would pull the walls down.
I’ve only owned one ConCor loco and it was a SP GP-50 (I think). It did just fine when it was new, but as it got older the motor finally gave out and I turned it into a dummy to run with my Atlas SP models. As for their rolling stock. It’s not MicroTrain quality, but I don’t really have a problem with it.
