Train Addiction Help Line: 1.866.840.7777

 

 

Dear Scale Modelers:

Late today our N Scale Buyer happened to be talking to one of Kato's distributors. Apparently Kato has announced SD70Ms in SP and CSX (2 road numbers per road).

Now for the interesting part of this announcement - There is very little inventory to go around. All distributors we communicated with, expressed dismay at the meager amount of allocated product from Kato.  After calling many Distributors in the past two hours we were able to confirm, a small quantity of these engines.

We just finished a conversation with Kato and they have assured us "the quantity being sent to the distributors next week is it" they will not re-run the road numbers (and Kato will not explain why). Kato did acknowledge many distributors were short and "suggested we get confirmation from any distributor before we take orders".

One major West Coast Distributor was only allocated 12 engines! of each road number. There was a fifth item in the SD70M's an Undec. Don't even ask - they are already sold out.

So here is the detailed information as we have it as of 3:00 pm PST.
