Big Kato Announcement Coming????

I think if you need to delete every third letter in the email, then reverse the order of the remaining letters. then get out your secret decoder ring, you will find the real announcement.

I am so sick and tired of Kato's east coast bias.  They really need to expand.  Ever hear of the UP, BNSF, AT&SF, BN, CB&Q, GN or a host of others!!!!!!

I'm afraid we would have a stupid Ovaltine ad.

An AEM7 makes sense, especially if it were linked to a new line of 4-track Unitrack with (removable) PRR style catenary.    

A flashy passenger train with a new steam engine is about the only other things that could qualify as a 'doozy' in my mind.

I could definitely see a new passenger engine and cars being the release.  As much as it pains me to say it, I really can't see a switcher being hyped as a "doozy".  What frustrates me is that I have very little use for a passenger set.  They're fun and cool looking, but for actual use, I would really like to see more freight equipment, even though I know it doesn't attract the collectors in the same way.

Well if " make a Doozy " it's a double edged sward if it's a flub . Then again what Kato was ever a failure ? They have the GG1 chassis , and that big Japanese box cab . Maybe an American version of that .

Maybe they'll do the PRR Mountains that PCM never built?  ???

Actually, here's the scoop...

It's an entirely new line of custom undecorated models - Kato Kobo-II . Each model is
hand undecorated using the perfect combination of secret solvents and brushing techniques.

Direct only, at a 40% premium over decorated models.

Now that's kinda funny.

If it's truly a "Doozy" then maybe it's this 1927 model since that's where the slang word came from.

Wow, a Kato tease using archaic language ... gosh!

BTW - the UP 7400  ES44AC being unveiled next week is the "Pink Ribbon" locomotive, commemorating UP's partnership with the Susan B. Komen for the Cure and Breast Cancer Awareness.

Just wanted to set the record straight, since I had posted an incorrect rumor before...
