<p>O scale/guage, yes, they have an excellent line of 3 rail equipment. If you want 2 rail you can convert some of their locomotives and rolling stock. Get the Premier line stuff.</p> <p>Note: I own a whole bunch of O guage MTH equipment, but for HO, stear clear of their locomotives unless you are going to run MTH only. </p> <p>If HO scale: No. Main reason: Things that were said to NMRA members and developers of new standards by MTH representatives at the 2015 NTS. MTH has lost me personally as a customer permanently. </p> <p>They have a proprietary system which is not really compatable with DCC and they try to make their decoders dual mode. If you want all of the DCS features you have to buy their system, for which they dont sell spare decoders so you can't convert other locomotives. Save yourself the headache. If you are going to buy locomotives with digital command already installed, stick with a manufacturer that uses a DCC decoder. </p>
