Do you mean running quality or looks? Mantua/ Tyco will run forever if not well. Northlanz , one of the largest MRRs in the world uses mantua exclusively. Since they run well over 100 trains at one time they are looking for a reliable product. Most of the time you are far enough away from them for the lack of detail not to be a problem. I have some from the 60s that still run fine. You need to shim the motor in most cases to get it to rum smooth. I do agree that the regular Bachman & Lifelike do not run long. I also have an IHC steamer that has a decoder & it runs very well but has no pulling power. So I guess you should better define what '' WORST'' means.
