Recently I have been on a bit of a buying spree. A friend who was thinning his collection had a large number of Kato locomotives for sale. These will replace a number of Atlas SD50 and SD60 models that have not run well for me on this layout.
These SD40-2's and the SD40 will fit in on both my 83-88 and 89-96 eras. These are all decoder ready models, and I already had the decoders for them. The handrails will get painted on those that are not already painted.
These Kato C30-7's will also work with both my 83-88 and 89-96 eras. They are the older models that are not decoder ready but I swapped the mechanisms with a pair of Santa Fe models that already had decoders. These will also get the handrails painted and I may do the number boards on them as well.
And last I aquired these Kato C44-9W's that will work in my 89-96 era as they entered service on the UP in 1994. I already had the decoders for these as well.
