This engine features great detail, such as lights and railings
5/5

Scale speed and pulling power are both good at both high and low speeds. The trailer is capable of towing 20 cars with ease - everything I own.

It exceeded our expectations in every way
5/5

It is passing by my window every night on the way to my office the real-size prototypes of the loc. On the big ones, they look the same, except they have rust and dirt on them. I am very impressed with the level of detailization. A quality product from Kato. I think it is essential.

Paint job that is sharp and operation that is ultra smooth
5/5

The first time I've model railroaded for over 30 years has been enjoyable. As it is, I present a DC layout right now, but I wanted locomotives that could easily be converted to DCC if the lotto were to win. As my second SD70Ace, this is actually my second Kast, a company well known for its locomotives with silky smooth operation even at slow speeds, also lives up to its I am amazed at the quality of the paint job. No, I'm not a rivet counter, but the only thing detracting from the entire process is. . . Because it is so small, I don't really consider it to be a real criticism since it can easily be fixed The handrails on the ladders should all be yellow, both at the front and at the back. There is a black hand rail in the rear and one in the front. It won't be difficult to get it right.
