QUOTE: Originally posted by tstage Hi Everyone! I was wondering if you all could explain something to me. 1. Why are the Kato and Athearn drives so highly prized over Stewart locomoitves?
QUOTE: 2. Is there something wanting about the Stewart drives?
QUOTE: 3. What advantage does a Kato drive have over a Stewart or Athearn drive and versa vica?
QUOTE: 4. Also, when they mention the word "drive", are they talking about the motor and/or what's connected to the motor?
QUOTE: 5. Lastily, as far as the new Stewart F3s and F7s that are coming out. Do you know what drive Stewart will be putting into them?
QUOTE: Originally posted by ebriley If I'm not mistaken the early Stewart Fs had Kato mechanisms in them. I remember numerous references back in the 80s to Stewart-Kato. Am I loosing it, or are those real memories?
QUOTE: Originally posted by jxtrrx By the way, I was just looking at the Stewart web site. They list each of their locos and whether it's a Kato or Stewart drive at http://www.stewarthobbies.com/roadname_catalog.htm
