I have an original Kato trainset of the California Zepher. What I don"t have is the CB&Q E5A to power it. I am thinking about revising this void. Does Kato plan on a B UNIT?

3

Haven’t run it yet - got it for display since I live right next to the trackage that the original ran on between Lincoln-Omaha. Will a HO version of the E5 from Kato be coming soon?

Very nice! Accurate model by Kato.

5

Pretty jerky video. Why couldn’t you show some close-ups of the detailing, that’s what the intro mentioned.

6

Great looking train set. I hope Kato plans to make this in HO scale as well.

7

Very nice, well done

8

Is it me or does that observation car seem to be riding high on the end of the train

9

As a G29 modeller, I understand having to include “coupler at correct height”, because couplers are a mess in Gxx scale. Is it also a problem in the mini-world?

10

Nice train but the observation car looks like it has air shocks?

11

Kato-can you say H-O? PLEASE!

12

Why is the rear truck of the observation car running so high?

13

I would guess that sound could be added with very little problem. The wireing would be installed in one of the cars with room to spare ?

14

The train looks great. I hope Kato will also offer it in HO.

15

this looks very nice

16

Looks very nice.

17

This is a great set just wish it had a white or yellow glow led headlight.

18

If I didn’t already have a garage full of trains…sigh!

Wow! Sooo cool! Thanks for letting us see this in action. The details of the set were also very helpful. Do you have any plans for adding figures inside the cars, or any other modifications to the model?

Really looks nice on the super elevated curves! The video was a bit jerky though - not sure if it’s embedded or my Internet feed.
