Everyone survived just fine and made their choices, no real need to drag it up again.

I was being facetious...
I'm not unhappy with any of the Kato engines and passenger cars I've purchased throughout the years-I've seen a logical progression in quality, accuracy, and detail/paint, along with a surprise or two at the choice of subject matter; all which I have found welcome if not needed for my purposes.
The subtle differences in the trucks which Loren asks about here is a case in point-Kato has used as much pre-existing molds as possible and has produced newer ones when needed (the E5 powered Zephyr release is a good example of it, I believe-Kato produced and released the excellent E5 and got more mileage out of some older Burlington prototype cars)
