[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by bigboy4015</i> <br /><br />I have one in UP Flag scheme. <br /> <br />It´s not a bad engine. Cheap, looks good and details are normal. And I own three Kato UP AC´s. (EXACT YOU MUST SAY THAT ALL MODELS WERE AC4400-CTE BECAUSE THEIR NUMBERS ARE LOWER THAN 6000!) <br /> <br />The Katos are have more tractive effort and runs smoother and are better detailed. <br /> <br />But costs much more! <br /> <br />BTW: I had heared that there are problems with the Kato AC´s - I have no problems. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />There were a couple of failures reported on the Atlas forum. Circuit board failures & concerns <br />about the operating voltage warning on the Kato carton "Maximum DC 12V". Part of the <br />thinking was operating in access of 12V( since some packs go to 20) may have contributed <br />to the circuit board being fried.
