I own both an MTH Imperial Big Boy and the older Lionel Lionmaster Big Boy. Over all the MTH runs way nicer then the Lionel in my opinion. I bought both of them around the same time. Thus far no issues with the MTH version, on the other hand with the Lionel my smoke unit has since burned out which has been a known issue with these engines. @gunrunnerjohn has talked about this smoke unit issue quite a few times including even in my own wall of post. I will post a video of both of my Big Boys for you to check out.
