Hello all,
Having only one kato locomotive,Norfolk Southern SD80MAC. I can only say it was worth the $120.00,spent. How are katos other locomotive’s,mainly the SD38-2? My wish list,one united states steel SD38-2. How do they operate,any problems ?

No problems I’ve found yet. I have 7 of them. Details are very good. Standard Kato smooth running characteristics. Haven’t found any tracking problems with them. The corner handrails, the ones painted white, are still seperate from the rest of the handrails but they are much easier to apply than the ones on the SD70MAC’s. My only complaint, I wi***he undecorated units came with 3-cylinder brakes instead of just 2-cylinder or that there was a sideframe swapout part available. I’d give them an 9 out of 10.
I hope they reuse the frame and motor for a new SD-40-2.
Yah, when they finally do them! [|(]
IF they ever reproduce them! [:(!]
