Hi All,
This week a new addition to the roster .... after searching on ebay for a Kato SD70 ACe flag unit in vain and most of them not much less secondhand as opposed to new ......... i bought a new one and a Digitrax DN163K1C decoder to go with it.
Usual Kato quality and after running on my loco tester i fitted the decoder ..... note should be made the two forward locating lugs for the exhaust moulding inside the body should be trimmed to allow the body to it correctly after install.

Not sure if you guys have seen this longer chassis protector on Kato locos now as it supports the truck in transit as well as the tank.
