Many of you are familiar with Overland Brass locomotives and many more of you are familiar with Kato's plastic offerings. Both are some of the most popular brands in their respective N scale fields. Still, there are some of us model railroaders that are not familiar with either brand, whether it be new modelers or brand specific modelers or era specific modelers whose products are not offered by either manufacturer.
Today we have a match between two giants of the rails. Among the largest diesel locomotives ever created, these 6000 horsepower capable locomotives are some of the most powerful machines in service. Used all throughout North America, the SD90 is commonly seen hauling anything from coal to containers to the vehicles you and I drive.
In the left corner, weighing in at more than 400,000 pounds (approx. 1/2 lb for the model), wearing the clean yellow red and gray Union Pacific trunks, THE OVERLAND S D Niiiiiiiinety!!!!!
Its opponent in the right corner, weighing the same in real life (a little less for the model), wearing the dirty yellow red and gray Union Pacific trunks, THE KATOOOOOO, S D Niiiiiiiiinety!!!!!
