Lionel's and MTH O gauge products are a compromise because most 3-rail O gauge people want to run on very sharp curves. Look at all the posts of people asking if a Big Boy will get around O-36 curves. This requires that a model be semi-prototypical with swinging pilots, short handrails, oversize flanges, claw couplers, etc. Why build a super detailed locomotive if it is going to have all these compromises?
That said, I think that both Lionel and MTH do a fine job detailing their top of line models above the frame. NH Joe
