Kato Product Preview - October 2020 - New York Central "20th Century Limited"

[@mottopanukeiku7406]

Awesome! You gotta love Kato, its brand and its products. After a 40 year hiatus, COVID lock-down has gotten me back into modeling. Really enjoying n-scale. Cheers.

[@coloradonscaler]

Kato USA, you just made my day. My N scale BNSF ES44AC just arrived today. Thank you for making this pandemic a little bit better for all of us.

[@Haya_archive1]

Oooooh I’m for sure getting this for my n scale Chicago layout

[@intuitive7274]

Nothing like the Streamliner. The most beautiful train built

[@selx13]

Lol, We should rebuild this as a touring train from Grand Central to Chicago.

[@slicktop2jz855]

ArtDeco was the best era for train design.

[@nobodyshome758]

Yes! I can't wait for my preorder!! Like a kid at Christmas waiting on this.

[@txag007]

Nice! We can we see the Empire Builder come back into production? That would be an amazing release! An addon set with additional 46-seat vista dome cars and sleepers! It is a long consist but should be done right!

[@dukestrains9150]

I'm so excited, I can't even describe it.

[@brtree74]

Cool. I am eagerly awaiting the n-scale UP SD70m flat radiators😎👍

[@vcsaturn214]

Placed my Order 2 days ago! Vintage Classics Hobbies! Can't wait! Thank you KATO!

[@ConsolidatedRailFan]

Such a sharp looking set, I just got my 9+4 Sets in today, looking forward to getting the engines to pull this train

[@MackBricks]

This is amazing, I really hope you produce a dreyfuss hudson to go with it, it was one of the most iconic locomotives ever, and, in my opinion, is more unique than a mass-produced EMD diesel. Awesome job though!

[@sethkimmel7312]

The car paint schemes are a little difterent but most non train fans won't notice

[@luislaplume8261]

The Hudson type was the first streamlined steam locomotives that were standard after 2 earlier streamlined streamlined steam locomotives were rebuilt from conventional steam locomotives. The era of streamed steam locomotives built new was only from 1935 by the Milwaukee Road to the Norfolk and Western in 1950 in the J3 type class of 1950 numbered 613 to 615.

[@trainknut]

It pleases me immensely that the Bachmann hudson is coming out the same month as this set.

[@sorenjamari8931]

i know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

[@Gypples]

@@sorenjamari8931 usually there's an option to reset ur password by sending you an email. Might wanna check that if u can. I'm 2 months late I know, but it might not be too late, lol

[@BoxcarJerry]

Beautiful set thats for sure , ESU sound is a premium upgrade . Almost got sticker shock from the MSRP .

[@stellixclan-_-8450]

when will you guys make an Amfleet II cafe car?

[@YukariAkiyamaTanks]

New York Central Road to the future!

[@kiffstevenson2784]

Beautiful!

[@jacjac5761]

Nice new Kato set!

[@TrainFanShorts]

When will you bring back the PRR Broadway limited. They are sold out. I really want them back so i can create a cool train with Kato's PRR GG1 Tuscan red scheme.

[@KatoUSAinc]

We just did a production of them earlier in this year, they were in stock as recently as July. You will likely be able to still find them if you search about. We still have the GG1's in stock, even.

[@TrainFanShorts]

@@KatoUSAinc ok

[@sethkimmel7312]

I do see them on epay for sale...can get pricey...

[@sethkimmel7312]

Any chance to do a P or T motor? ( I think the EF11 Japanese electric is bo-bo and has the long end Platforms so could be painted as a NYC electric if you pull the pantographs...). While not as accurate as a real NYC P or T motor its better than nothing and a lot cheaper to do.. I want to model the Grand Central to Harmon run and the engine swaps there...

[@sethkimmel7312]

Oos.....an EF57 is the Japanese prototype I would recommend as a P motor clone...

[@sethkimmel7312]

Oh a tip - the tail car Hickory Creek STILL exists in revenue service, so it would be prototypical being tacked on the end of a Kato Amtrak train carrying passengers in private car service...

[@Vector_QF8]

Got mine this week! Love it!

[@hanoj87]

Lovely

[@LordCornholio31]

Yall need to make the 4-6-4 Hudson!!

[@flavxer7345]

Nice!

[@Bob-gj4mb]

Make more n scale containers to buy

[@donaldalmeida2483]

My review: I've had this for a couple of weeks. Absolutely beautiful to look at. I just ordered the four car add-on. The observation car derails at the same spot on my layout and I can't find the cause. I ran it backwards and it worked ok for a few runs and then it would derail again. I added a lead weight and it still derails. I added my Kato Santa Fe observation car and it worked smoothly, no derailing. Also, the E-7 diesels would derail on a certain curve. I changed their positions and they're operating well for now. I also ran my Kato E8 PRR diesels and they were very smooth in towing the NYC. I have Kato's PRR Broadway Limited, California Zephyr, Santa Fe Super Chief and they all worked flawlessly out of the box. I'll probably purchase another NYC observation car to see if that will make a difference.

[@sethkimmel7312]

Try checking to see if the axles are in Guage....for the ob car I would just buy new trucks on the website spare parts page....its a lot cheaper than buying a whole car....

[@sethkimmel7312]

Also check your trackwork!

[@Wawa111_Mainline]

Can we get the metra gallery cars in ho scale please Also the loco in ho scale

[@nolsknows1]

no E7B unit as seen in the prototype vids?

[@noahpeters1851]

Right! I would of been good for a repaint for An SP E7b

[@sethkimmel7312]

Will the observation car need a decoder for running on dcc layouts?

[@KatoUSAinc]

No, everything uses LEDs so they're fine to run on DCC.

[@sethkimmel7312]

@@KatoUSAinc thanks....I WAS hoping for a video of this AND the Broadway doing the daily race...LOL!

[@sethkimmel7312]

One day you've GOT to do the 1938 20th century with the Dreyfuss hudson with both scullen disk and boxpok driver versions....I know EVERYONE is screaming for it. ...:-)

[@oceaniccart908]

Wish I could know how to make it dcc and what Systems to use

[@gregorydaack7354]

WOW!

[@yonigamer-kv7km]

I have question does kato and ho scale are same in the size?

[@KatoUSAinc]

We make both N scale and HO scale - they are not the same size.

[@yonigamer-kv7km]

@@KatoUSAinc I have another question what should starter set you should I buy)

[@cal4840]

@@yonigamer-kv7km You should get this! its fabulous and is great for beginners

[@SouthRails]

YESSSSSSSSS!

[@HatteKeineAhnung]

Hopefully they are also available in Germany soon :)

[@alcopower5710]

Looks great......but as a HO Scaler I feel left out 😞

[@odielodie]

Yes can't wait for this in my n scale Penn station!

[@sethkimmel7312]

Chuckle you'll have to rename the station as Grand Central terminal then....lol

[@CameronCobb]

HO scale please :(
