If I wanted to install Micro-trains couplers in a new version SD-45, can someone reply with the proper M/T replacement coupler part number? I...
I really like Kato's concrete tie track, and have the V12 set. I hope that they will release turnouts and single track pieces soon in concrete...
Is it possible that FVM will make a regular cab GP-60 model? I would like to see this made in addition to the wide cab models. Al
I would really appreciate Micro-trains eliminating using copper-colored uncoupling pins, and make them black as they are when other manufacturers...
Thank you for your replies. The Kato U23C's and U30C's do seem identical, and this is fine with me, as the difference is such a minor one. I was...
Are these models identical from outward appearance, or are there visible differences in detail? They appear the same to me, and maybe the...
The printed warning labels make a very nice improvement on these models. It would be great if Kato were to do this on future ones.
Thank you, Christoph, and Aptos Station for your relies. I will look for the 3601 wheelsets.
I have an Athearn 33.9k gallon LPG tank car that I would like to install Fox Valley Models metal replacement wheels. I know the couplers are...
....The Kato is very good and a good value in the eight car sets at discount prices. They have very good paint and printing, the best looking...

Would you or someone provide more information? Were earlier -9 H2's incorrect? Are the new ones now correct? Thanks!
Excellent suggestion! Dim or yellow/green looking lights detract from an engine's appearance.
I wonder if Fox Valley would consider making GP-60's. This possibly would require only a new cab section to replace the "M" cab. The rest of the...
I still wish there were a better solution. Micro-trains have the slinky effect, Accumates come apart and/or lose their trip pins, McHenry's at...
With all respect, what's wrong with playing with toy railroads? Some people are very gifted at performing the modeling aspects, many are not....
I have wished for some time that Kato would produce Unitrack with US tie spacing. If they would also use a slightly smaller rail size, like code...
I'm curious to know, too. I hope it's Kato. They've done a great job with other modern GE engines. Al
Just curious as to your less than favorable experience with the MT low profile wheelsets. Were there problems with these, and if so, could I ask...
Thank you for your replies. I prefer the Micro-trains for several reasons. They roll much better than the trucks supplied by Athearn, the M/T's...
