Nice.  I like the trucks... I wonder how they work?

[bobcat]

Knowing Kato, they will roll great and everyone will want to see if these will work with the Bachmann Amfleets. If so, a frenzy will insue to get these from Kato parts dept., where of course they will be out of in a matter of hours.

Ditto on the trucks. I've been checking parts daily but with my luck they'll be posted as soon as I get distracted for a day or two. Although they are not prototypical I need some for some Island MW Comet II's I've been working on.

I wonder how they will pivot with the damper hanging down beside them. Looks very restrictive.

For the guys that want these for kitbashing, pray they don't use the new clip on trucks on recent releases.

Just to maintain my local reputation as the "Anti Kato" guy, I wonder when the first person will comment on the "hunks of plastic" they used for drop steps...hasn't Kato heard of wire steps like some other passenger car mfg's.....? ;D

Cars look very nice; no use to me but I'm really pleased for my U.S. modern passenger friends out there....

Those definitely look great. I really wish Kato wises up with their packaging on these on future runs (and includes an AEM7).

Bring on the individually available Phase III Amtoobs, please!

[bbussey]

Hopefully all the Amfleet car parts will be released so that individual cars can be assembled.  Knowing Kato, single cars aren't on the future production schedule.

Or if they do it will be:

• The car no one wants
• The one car everyone wants but they'll only make 150 of them, thus once again pissing us all off.

"Kato"... where customer service comes right after ...everything".......

Oh I know; Mr. Anti Kato....." LOL

I just had a minor issue with a direct order and they provided excellent customer service by both phone and email.

Since these aren't really on my radar, I haven't paid that much attention... these aren't being offered individually?

[Bob Bufkin]

It's Kah too.
