- I have been told that Stewart makes some of the best diesels out there.
- Can anyone tell me in a nutshell, why this is true? What makes it better
- than, say, an Athearn?? Do they have can motors? By the way I also see
- the word Kato also..is that a type of motor or a company name or both??
-
- Do you have to do anything special to a stewart diesel to put Kadee
- couplers on it?? Also, do you recommed that I buy dummy A and B units
- when I buy a powered unit? (Im looking at F7's for now)
-
- Who's a good supplier of these models? I rarely see them advertised in MR..
- Athearn and Bachman seem to show up much much more in the mail order
- advertisements...
-
- How long has Stewart been around anyway...I was in the hobby 12 years ago
- and dont remember seeing them then?? (for that matter can anyone tell me
- what ever happened to the Troller power-pack company??)
-
- Much thanks,
- Chris
