Kato SD90-Up-date recommendation

[Anonymous]

I already had 7 Rail Power SD90's so i only bought 3 of the kato ones. they are excellent. very heavy, smooth running, excellent detail, and they dont look all that hard to assemble (unlike my RPP units) now if i can figure out how to install the H kit to the kato units, i can get rid of all my RPP ones. I am going to order kato handrails and other parts to finish my last 3 RPP SD90's. they look like they will work.

here is what i have so far
2 RPP SD90MAC-H UP/flag scheme
1 RPP SD90MAC-H UP
2 RPP SD9043MAC UP (we will deliver)
1 RPP SD90MAC-H D&RGW
1 RPP SD9043MAC D&H
3 Kato SD9043MAC UP

They are two to three inches longer. I would say that the Kato C44-9W and the SD80/SD90 are my favorite locos. I have approx 20 locos that I run regularly and another 30 that I have retired for viewing purposes only. It seems that one can never have enogh locos.

I have a Kato C44-9W. I looks and runs great, and is quite hefty. How do the SD-90's compare to that.Thinking of getting one.

When I went home last night I took a look at the new locos and compared them to some of my other diesels. You're right--they are large. They almost look as though they could be S scale.

I agree they are pretty large, but based on all of the pre-release hype and discussions they are not as big as I had anticipated. They look and run great. Kato did this one right.

I got mine yesterday. I use DCC. I love 'em. I got 2 UPs and one UP we will deliver.

Don't own any SD's. May be too big in comparison to my other diesels. I'm not DCC.
