Well, in the case of this loco, even though I had the same association between Hobbytrain and Kato, this loco is made by Mehano, but I think you already knew that and were asking a more general question? The only other Hobbytrain model I have is the HLE 18 which is good, but not perfect (check out my review) but it does run very well (there are some 'detail' concerns)! My other Hobbytrain/Kato locomotive is a Class 66 which is excellent!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-23943215591009444222013-03-29T12:24:49.161-07:002013-03-29T12:24:49.161-07:00Hi Jerry,

Kato are my favorite maker, given how well their locos run. Do you feel the hobbytrain locos run as well, or even better, are using Kato's internals?<br /><br />thanks!adamVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335994554920259689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-78665488890621570812013-03-29T12:24:19.245-07:002013-03-29T12:24:19.245-07:00Hi Jerry,

This locomotive...Hi Jerry, thanks for this review. <br />This locomotive has an interesting form-factor, the black version you have in the background is plain beautiful !<br /><br />I remember reading that Hobbytrain took over Mehano sales in western Europe; no wonder this locomotive is nearly exactly the same.<br />In fact, as a relatively small manufacturer themselves, they seem to focus equally on importing other brands<br />( http://www.lemkecollection.de/index.php/ueber-uns - in German, but google translate would help).Pierre.blnhttp://www.digitrainworld.comnoreply@blogger.com
