For years, Kato made Con-Cor's locomotives, so that is nothing unusual, but it does mean that the set dates from the 1980's or earlier. Kato also made locomotives for Atlas in the late 1980's and early 1990's, before they started doing business in the US under their own name. Just curious, why did you post this under the prototype railroad topic when there is one for model railroads?
