Never heard of them.
But as an owner of a Kato C44-9W, thats a good choice.
Powerful, Smooth running, (not as smooth as my Athearn SD70's though)PNP for DCC(Though I'm DC). Nice detail, though some of the smaller bits can be a pain to add.
Little noisy in the motor, but I can deal with that.
I think you'll like them.
