Both the Athearn and Kato SD70MACs score high points for detail and performance. However the Kato unit has more weight and thus more traction, and thus would lean that direction given the prototypes service on 135+ Car coal trains. (I live in the Powder River Basin. Trust me) <br /> <br />Also given my fuming hatred for Horizon Hobbies over seriosly screwing up my favorite model train company, I would buy Kato just out of spite for them. <br /> <br />However I model GN in the winter of 1969. So its all a moot point. <br /> <br />James.
