I find myself collecting the Kato Maxi IV and Maxi I cars, and now have 14 sets in the fleet. Does anybody know where I can find a list of all the road numbers Kato has done? Kato's website has some listed, but not all of them. Thanks.
After going thru my N scale magazines and searching the web, I've come up with 12 Maxi I and 25 Maxi IV sets. I may need to find a cheaper hobby.
And before long Deluxe will have their Maxi-IV's out, so you can really be broke! I would say, maybe collect *half* of the Kato's...then you're only 5 away. I mean, if that's your "hobby within a hobby"--collecting Kato--then by all means go for it. But I just know when I got back in the hobby in the late 90's I felt compelled to have one (or more) of everything and pretty soon you realize that's really just a good way to fill up storage boxes. About 5 years in, I decided I needed to sell off and now 10 years later I'm STILL finding stuff to get rid of. Sorry, not trying to rain on your parade...they're great cars! I have a Maxi-I and it's one of my faves. You would have one really awesome 50ft long N-Trak train there!
