Kato GS-4 With SoundKato are renowned for their high quality models. The Southern Pacific GS-4 is another one in a long line of excellence. Such a pity that they blotted their copybook with the DCC problems in the 1st run of this model. Nevertheless Spookshow gives it an 'A' grade.http://www.visi.com/~spookshow/katogs4.html The official Kato US page. http://www.katousa.com/Kobo/E-NGS-4.html Wikipedia page with GS-4 history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Pacific_4449 DCC decoder fitting guides are in the DCC section. |

Bruce here are the Kato - Hobbytrain - Lemke Locos class 66's four are made and they run like swiss clocks i had the Opel GM and Rail4chem ones http://www.mgsharp.com/Kato_European_N.htm Click on the pictures there for a better view. Great runners but they are smaller in scale when placed next to a Dapol G/F class 66. Prices are around £115 - £125 each a lot are bought for repaints to british paint. [/quote] |

Here is a sound install from Tsunami Bruce showing how the tender needs modifying to accept the decoder and speaker. In British N gauge the locos are smaller and space is tight mm's can matter when doing an install at times needing milling of parts and any weight loss in the loco can bring issues with reliability of running.
