Uhh, it's obvious...., they haven't done a K4. What greater bias could there be?
Don't forget the Penn Central passenger train made by Kato within the last year or two.EDIT: And, if you look at Kato's marketing for the PC and Amtrak Phase I trains, it's clear that the Amtrak cars were marketed for an eastern U.S. train: http://www.katousa.com/N/PC-Amtk/index.html.

Hell, id love ready built true ATSF steam, but like many of you, im stuck making it all myself.
