Mr. Gibson <br />Kato was contacted and didn't care. Kato did me the disservice. So I am currently running Atlas engines and will trial their reliability. Even a local hobby shop in Green Bay told me he has disgruntled customers with Kato, so he is stocking more Atlas engines. So far my Atlas engine has ran fine. I hope the next 10 will also! <br /> <br />Anyone can feel free to buy Kato, just be prepared to fix them. Our large train show in Green Bay had many Kato engines in SD 40-2 for sale. Nobody here wants them, and some were marked down to $70. People were buying Athearn over the Kato. I would have purchased more Atlas engines at the show but not many were available. As for the SD 40 the motor just froze up in that one this week, once again a Kato! I saw those marked down today at the hobby store, I wonder why? <br /> <br />As for the Hobbytown USA stores I simply canceled payment on the check for not honoring the merchandise. The owner has his property back. I in turn will not frequent his store. No matter how many times he threatened me with the district attorney's office, no matter how many times he called the police, it did him no good. A canceled check is not a bounced check. <br /> <br />Personally I think manufacturers out there are saving a lot of money finding you suckers to fini***he manufacturing process for them. Kind of stupid to pay Kato's high price when you have to finish manufacturing it isn't it? <br />
