Re-live some great moments in history in miniature with Kato’s “Broadway Limited” pulled by the GG1 and EMD E8A locomotives. The “Broadway Limited” offered the finest in luxury travel between New York and Chicago. You had a choice of six types of private rooms ranging from cozy Roomette to luxurious Master Room with a private bath and shower. It also had an Observation-Lounge and Club-Lounge cars with game tables, magazines and refreshment buffets and a Master Dining Car that served food in the traditional “Broadway Limited” manner. The GG1 pulled this great train fast, smoothly, and quietly between New York and Harrisburg leaving New York in the evening at 6:00 P.M. or arriving in New York at 9:30 A.M. every day. From there, diesels such as the EMD E8 would operate in pairs to take the train across the non-electrified route to Chicago, IL.

Last produced in 2013, Kato announces a new run of Norfolk Southern SD70ACe locomotives coming in
early 2020! These engines carry prototypical detailing specific to NS’s SD70ACe units, including the
isolated cab and unique roof antenna array! Included in this run will be #1111, often called the “Barcode
Unit” due to the way the road number forms a pattern of vertical striping below the cab window!
These new run SD70ACe’s will be available in Analog (DC), Factory DCC, and Special order DCC &
Sound versions, and will come in three different road numbers!
