I've always thought the Fleischmann 125/4 was up there towards the top on build quality... (OK Jensens are built like tanks)

The 125/4 line has many extra features that make it a favorite of mine (in the mid range level):
Highly adjustable steam supply valve
Oil cups
Weighted safety valve
High quality nickeling on connecting rod, eccentric, etc
Top-notch and detailed enamel paint treatments
Nice steel-blue bluing on the boiler
Water outlet valve on front of boiler
Nice treatment on the ladder and gallery railings

Not too hard to find in good condition.

I guess you could say I like the 125/4 :)
