[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by tstage</i> <br /><br />Hi Everyone! <br /> <br />I was wondering if you all could explain something to me. <br /> <br />1. Why are the Kato and Athearn drives so highly prized over Stewart locomoitves? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Kato's are better than Stewarts, but IMHO Athearns are not. The Genesis drive comes close. In order of best (again, MHO): Kato, Atlas Master, Stewart, Genesis, P2K, Athearn RTR. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br /> <br />2. Is there something wanting about the Stewart drives? <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Not really (when compaired to other brands). Just over the years the Kato drive has proven superior to any other. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br /> <br />3. What advantage does a Kato drive have over a Stewart or Athearn drive and versa vica? [/quote] <br /> <br />Kato's have a proven track record (pun intended) !!! <br />It's the "winner" for long life at the Chicago MSI, for example. <br />Of course, they run them almost every day, all day !!!!! <br /> <br />Well, the others are cheaper ...... <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br /> <br />4. Also, when they mention the word "drive", are they talking about the motor and/or what's connected to the motor? [/quote] <br /> <br />All of it. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br /> <br />5. Lastily, as far as the new Stewart F3s and F7s that are coming out. Do you know what drive Stewart will be putting into them? <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />One assumes the same drive as their others, but with Bowser instead of Steve Stewart in charge, who knows ???? <br /> <br />You know what ***-U-ME means, of course ????!!! <br /> <br />
