I have the Kato F-3s, the IM FTs and just got the MT B&M FTs. They all run great but I would rate the MT FT as the better of the trio followed closely by the KATO and then the IMs. That's not to say the IMs are not good runners. It's just that the competition is tough! <br /> <br />I have the B&M IM FTs and the B&M MT FTs and I think the paint job on the MTs is a little bit better. <br /> <br />One small advantage to the MTs is that you can replace the A-B coupling bar with a coupler and not run them as an A-B all the time. I don't believe you can do the same with the IM FTs. BTW, that coupling pin is not great on either set. The original MT F units came in a long package so you could keep them coupled together. The newest MTs are each packaged in a separate box so you have to couple and separate them each time you use them and put them away. I've already lost one coupling bar. MT should package a spare for us guys with over 50 eyes.
