Kato Trains - Excellence in N Scale Model Railroading
Kato Trains - Excellence in N Scale Model Railroading

Kato concentrates on N Scale. It also has some offerings in HO Scale.
Kato products epitomize excellence in model railroading. At one time it was thought that model trains had to be HO or larger to provide the accuracy, detail, and power to have an outstanding model railroad experience. Kato has proven that N Scale can EXCEED HO and larger scales in all these categories.
Kato’s own literature describes one of their engines as follows:
Kato’s own N scale NW2 replicates each and every rivet of prototype detail with pinpoint precision, while emphasizing low-speed, high-power pulling. It also features directional headlights (without any of the lightpiping equipment intruding on the interior cab detail), low profile wheels, illuminated numberboards, and Kato magnetic knuckle couplers.
Kato engines are well known as solid performing engines. They operate at slow, scale speeds, and have tremendous pulling power. The accurate detail on each engine is world-class.
Have fun!
