[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by orsonroy Nah; if that was the case, they'd have made the Baldwin engines that were imported to Japan. Micro Ace has made several American-built engines of Japanese prototypes, the most well known being the new "Atlas" 2-6-0. I think Kato did the USRA heavy 2-8-2 to test the waters, and decided that the American steam market was just too small to bother with. Remember, only something like 5%-10% of Kato's sales are in the USA and Canada; the VAST majority of their revenue comes from their own domestic market. [/quote] Thanks for setting me straight orsonroy. What you said makes sense. I just wish Kato did produce a greater variety of American engines. I really like their stuff...
