      KATO models in HO-scale.
      In my eyes, KATO models have some of the smoothest motors in the industry. While they have their issues too like the competition, their products are very solid.
      Here is a sample of some of the KATO locomotives in my collection.

      Amtrak P42DC 100, Midnight Blue Heritage unit.

      Union Pacific SD40-2 1996, Atlanta Olympic Torch Relay (Custom painted)

      Union Pacific C44-9W 9660, Ex-Southern Pacific repaint.

      Canadian Pacific AC4400CW 9532, Beaver Logo scheme.

        If you get a chance, there are some good videos with tours of the factory and you begin to see why they do such a good job.

          Their EF510 is probably amongst the finest locos imaginable. Superb value, smooth running and the pulling power of an ox.
