 I have the Kato SD70Mac's and have made reservations for the Genesis units. The Kato products are great runners, but do not have the detail that has become the standard for the new releases. The Genesis diesels need work to make them run well and the first SD70's had very poor quality gearing. The latest models seem to be much better than their first models, and I used Kato wheel and gear sets to replace the out of round wheel sets in the first Genesis units. Replacing the F units wheel sets with the Kato wheel sets made the Genesis run great. I don't understand the lack of detail such as cutbars on the Genesis units, since they advertise as real as it gets, but the F units are on an equal standard in fidelity to my Overland F units, for 1/6 th of the cost. Part of the hobby has always been working on the detail and making them run better, so I enjoy both Kato and Genesis diesels.
