My experience with Mantua is limited to their line of steam locomotives. These have provided a solid mechanism, but are sorely lacking in detail. I have rebuilt those that I own, some with new superstructures, all with substantial detailing. If you are not into detailing and want to purchase something that rivals the current offerings, I would suggest you pass them by. AHC does provide a decent running mechanism and do possess reasonable detail (again, steam locomotives only). You do need to pay attention to the gear mechasnisms, they do occasionally vaporize. I cannot comment on either Roco or ConCor as I have no personal experience with their product lines. I do not know if this is any help. I am certain you will receive other responses that will, perhaps, be more meaningful to you. Good luck, and have fun. <br /> <br />Tom
