 I have around 30 of them and cannot find any fault with them.

Bang for the buck, they are a good start.  Also very great for trying out weathering.  Better to learn on a $10 car versus a $35 car.

Yes. They have a bit more detail and come with metal wheels. They have Bachmann EZ-Mate couplers but it's easy to change them out with Kadee's. They're a good value for the money.
