I just recieved my Ho Kato BNSF AC4400CW's,ILL idmit their realy nice locomotives,but I did notice one major problem with this model.....the cab is not centered correctly.
To me this is a major flaw from kato.BNSFnut.
Update...........I looked again and found the problem It must have occured during shipment.e.t.c.
I only will use the AC4400CW's for display.....Oh I realy love them too.[:)][:D]

Are these similar to the Kato GE units that are equipped with Sound? If so a friend of mine has one. He demonstrated it for me. Smooth running unit. The horn and bell sounds were impressive.

I hope I get this right.
My understanding is this.
The new GE KATO AC4400CW's from what Ive read is true?
I read forums from railroad.net and to my reason the AC4400CW's from kato are burning up......is this true?
Because I have on pre-order my three BNSF AC4400CW kato locomotives.
If this is true then ill just simply use them as prototype display on the shelf type locomotives.
My question is......has anyone had any problems with their units?
Because I don't know what I should do right now?[V][:0]
Thanks,BNSFfan.[:)]
