Kato Announces DRGW "Ski Train" F40PH's - KOBO

[oakcreekco]

Finally, some Kato Ski Train power    ............................maybe some cars to come in the future.

That would be a great passenger set, but this is a great start! Got my order in!

Where's the announcement?

I'm afraid, as that would be a cool train!

I'm glad I didn't get the Amtrak Celebrate the Century Express #100 as they never did produce the 2 cars that complimented the train.

             If you can still find them (hard to) the Walthers corrugated side coach in Rio Grande "Single Stripe" cars( have a couple) would look fairly close to the 2nd hand Canadian cars later used on the train. I purchased two to represent the Grande's ex C&O cars and then of course Centralia did the correct cars. Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake, Utah.

Chuckster has them listed on his FRT website

Wish that there were three numbers offered, but after this long of a "wish that", I'm more than happy with the two.

Ouch, ya probably going to have to pass on those, but definitely would be cool to get.

The CSX F40PHs are cool too, alas I only need one business train, and that's going to be expensive enough as it is when I'm done. Though I would take one if they did the AMTK 406 in Heritage Unit paint scheme.

Yep, these will be my purchase for the year. Those CSX do look nice too, but I'm down to only adding DRGW's occasionally.

It's a long shot thay any Ski Train passenger sets will ever come from Kato, but one can always dream.

Cool CSX and Tri-Rail F40's. Too bad I already have custom painted tri-rail units ,and I already did my own CSX units.
