We know Kato builds quality products and this is no exception. The cars are finely detailed and the body is made from cast metal, possibly aluminum. The paint detail is exceptional and even the finest written text is legible. The wheels are metal and very well machined. The cars share the trucks and when the consist is assembled it rolls exceptionally well. Shared trucks also mean that that even though the cars are fairly long they can navigate 18" radius curves fairly easily, it is a literal symphonic dance. Definitely the best cars in my collection.

Best running stack cars, some of the details like walkway are not quite as detailed as other brands- but this is outweighed by these being the best performing and stable. They don’t rock side to side over rough track and are very smooth to run.
