I've never owned either one, but I've heard that the Kato's, in addition to being more detailed, are also better runners.

huh?

AC4400 - Kato vs. Athearn

Posted by brothaslide on Wednesday, June 23, 2004 12:03 AM

I got the big go ahead to purchase a UP AC4400 in HO. Now my next choice is shall it be a Kato or an Athearn. I know that the Athearn RTR AC4400 is less expensive but the Kato is more detailed.

Which model do you all recommend and why?
