Kato EH10
One of those rare show specials (AUD$139.95 to… you’ll never believe this, AUD$25), I couldn’t hand my money over fast enough!

What is your absolute “must be Kato” model? A model so good that no one else who makes it gets a look in.
My list:
EF510

KATO models in HO-scale.
In my eyes, KATO models have some of the smoothest motors in the industry. While they have their issues too like the competition, their products are very solid.
Here is a sample of some of the KATO locomotives in my collection.Amtrak P42DC 100, Midnight Blue Heritage unit.
Union Pacific SD40-2 1996, Atlanta Olympic…
