shouldn't you be looking at the 2 rail version to compare?
I was just looking at the posted picture. I've never seen an MTH loco for real - they are extremely rare here in the UK. It also seems very ambiguous whether MTH locos listed as '2-rail' have the full 2-rail treatment - fixed pilots and long handrails, or just a set of 2-rail wheels to replace the 3-rail sets on a 3-rail loco.
