I feel that many on this forum have two of the latest releases in HO scale locomotives, The Kato AC-4400CTE, and the latest from Atlas, the Dash 8-40-C. On a scale of 1 to 10, How would you rate the two of them? For paint and lettering, I would give the edge to Kato, prototype fidelity I would say the two are dead even, for lighting, because of the working ditch lights, The edge goes to Kato, detailing, again a dead heat, Kato has a cab interior, which is nice, Atlas has a painted crew instead of the interior detail, personally, I prefer the crewmen in the Atlas model, Mechanically, Atlas has the edge, it is quieter, and starts moving with less current than the Kato, so in my personal evaluation, I rate both models a 9 on the scale, again a dead heat, How do you Guys rate them? <br /> <br /> <br />Mac
