Look at page 90 and 91 to see the difference in the lastest atlas vs mth high end locos. The atlas looks just like the real one on the same page 91 and the mth looks like a glorified mpc, especially the trucks. Also check out the performance specs, Starting current for mth=2 amps rising to almost 3, atlas less than 1 amp and staying there.
I thought MTH would be leading the pack, but sure seems they are falling behind. This is my opinion only.

Which engines are compared? Models please.
