There are many reviews which give you an opportunity to hear the sounds and see them run. Also if you are not tied to a certain road name there are deals at Trainworld ,modeltrainstuff, the Yankee-Dabbler and Hobbylandlinc just to name a few on even higher end brands Just to add to brands already mentioned Intermountain and Scaletrains operator line can be good values

Kato and Atlas make the best runners, I avoid Bachman and BLI, while their detail is quite a bit better, they don’t run well.

Gavin,
Bachmann at the lower end for detail. Athearn Genesis, BLI, Rapido are higher end but great detail. Walthers is more in the middle. Don’t get too hung up on detail. At 3 feet away and moving you can’t count the bolt heads. Judicious weathering is what is needed to make a model emulate the real thing.
