Willaims FA's or PA's?

I’ve sold off some engines lately, and am considering purchasing either a Williams Santa Fe FA or Santa Fe PA. I like the add-on stuff on the FA, but also think the Alco’s are very well done. I’m using O-42 curves, so size could be an issue. Which would you choose?

I would go with the FA’s. My experience has been that four axle diesels track better than six axle ones do.

I have both the scale FA and the PA, the FA will look better on O-42 curves.

I run the Denver & Rio Grande PA’s on 042 curves and there are no issues. There have never been any problems with any of my Williams engines. All they need is a little cleaning and a little lube and they will run a long time.
