Not happy with N gauge steam loco's.

[Elvinley]

Generally diesels are smoother running as they are far less complicated and less fussy over poor trackwork. One of the main problems with N gauge diesels still remains the split gear issue. I tested a few locos which had been stored for a couple of years recently and about half had split gears. One example, a class 57 had at least 3 split gears - all on one bogie and all driving wheels. Steam doesn't seem to be affected by this issue.
