Dear N Scale Modelers: we just received official word from Kato on two new release items.

BNSF SD40-2 in the new "Swoosh" Logo and NW2's in Union Pacific. Here's the info:

Announcing the new BNSF “Swoosh” paint scheme for Kato's N Scale EMD SD40-2 Mid Production version locomotive! This popular paint scheme is the new face of the BNSF railroad, and is a hotly demanded paint scheme in all scales! This production marks the first time this paint scheme will be available in Kato N Scale.

Kato's N Scale EMD NW2 Switching locomotive is a piece of engineering magnificence; combining precise tooled details and a full cab interior without sacrificing performance or ingenuity with fully functional illuminated number boards, directional headlights, and a powerful skewed armature motor. Now available in the popular Union Pacific road name, every modeler should have one of these little powerhouses on their layout.
