I finally received the first of two Kato Nscale Super Chief 4-car passenger sets. Pulled by an Alco PA1 (temporary power when F-units weren't available early in the Super Chief's days) this is a well done set by Kato. The detailing is great - as is the factory lighting. The Sleeper/Lounge-Observation car has the lighted Super Chief drum with red side lights, and even a back-up light for reversing! My picture taking skills don't do the set justice. Although not the typical power that everyone remembers, the PA1 gives a certain brute-force look to the whole train - and was pictured in several Super Chief promotion shots. I'm thinking about getting another PA1 for an A+A set up to run the full 8 car passenger set.
