Video Kato Kobo NYC M-497 Jet Car - Fifer - 01-31-2012

Hello Guys. After some time and long deliberation, I finally cut loose and purchased a Kato Kobo NYC Jet Car. I know these have been around for quite some time but as a former New York Central modeler I simply had to have one of these. I would have to say that when I opened the box I was actually stunned at the finish in detail in this model. Due to the lack of videos available of this model and decided to go ahead and shoot one. So here's a link if you're interested in this model.

I loved it, my son and I are RDC fans, we went into grieving when BC Rail shut down and its four RDC's were sold, never knew this one existed. Icon_lol

Did this car actually exist?
