New Train: Kato P42 Amfleet & Viewliner Phase IV Locomotive and 5-car set

This is an awesome set, but of course its Kato so it is expected.

This set comes in a book...













The details are amazing just look at this fan.















But looks aren't everything this loco runs smooth as silk, Under the hood it almost the same as some of the other Kato P42s except this ones shell is held on by some tabs on the inside. So to remove the shell you have to spread apart at the bottom from the middle.














When I convert this awesome loco to DCC I will be adding the red lights, which unfortunately are fake. It comes with some air hoses as you can see but they aren't that great but I'll probably just use them anyway.


And here it is, the Amfleet cars, this is probably the main reason I got the set. The only other cars I've seen these in N scale by was Bachmann and I'm done with them. So this is great that Kato Decided to make this awesome set.






















The Viewliners:












I am going to have some fun with this one, I think I will end up putting in the Digitrax Drop-in Sound Decoder. Of course When I Get the DCC system I will be putting that proccess up here!

Totally recommend Getting this one: MSRP at $250 but if you look around you can get a great deal! Hint Hint...
