I think you'll find things have changed a lot, for the better. even most of the low end locomotives to-day run better than the best of the 1970s. gone are talgo truicks and horn hook couplers, replaced by plastic versions of the kadee couplers we spent a fortune on back then. and most of them are body mounted to boot! most cars you can buy rtr are also properly weighted. and everything works so much better than what we had back then.
