Review: Very good! - Strong, powerful. A real work-horse. Excellent detail. The flywheels are not heavy enough for the motor, so it takes some getting used to. Care must be taken so it won’t derail when starting.
Review: Extremely Satisfied. - I am very happy and satisfied with the Kato D51 200 locomotive. It arrived much early than expected and in excellent condition. It is highly detailed and it ran quietly and smoothly on my track layout. I was surprised to see that it had a coreless motor and two brass flywheels. That explains the quiet and smooth operation. The quality is excellent. It comes with a Rapido coupler on the tender. However, a newer style knuckle coupler is provided if you want to change it out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous model detail...
*by L***K on February 1, 2024*

It arrived today and I am so happy with this purchase. I have collected trains for years but my home is too small for the train tables I have had in years past. Like a collection of fine watches, I love to look at them and display them for all to see...j
