Beautiful
Beautiful set! Was trying to get into new hobbies during these covid times and I purchased my first Bachmann N scale train set a couple weeks ago. I’ve only been into this stuff for a couple weeks but I love the hobby and I’ve been purchasing more stuff! I’ve been watching your videos for tips and they are really helpful! Thank you!
Thanks Vincent. Welcome to the channel and to the hobby. Enjoy.
Kato really made a beautiful set of passenger cars and the E7 locomotives are unique also. Nice presentation!
Such a beautiful set, Kato did a great job! Only wish this set was available in HO scale as well.
Hey Ron,
Marvelous preview and being it's Kato I am certain it's a superb product.
This consist has a personal pride factor for me. My Great Uncle (John Lynch) was a U.S. Military RxR Fireman during WW1. When he was mustered out in 1919 he took a job at NYC and became the third Engineer of the 20th Century Ltd. in 1927, when the 4-8-4 Streamlined Hudson (designed by Dreyfuss) joined the fleet.
When the T series, by ALCO-GE Schenectady, N.Y., where being test driven by NYC, Uncle John was what in today's vernacular we would call it's Test Pilot. Aunt Gert just called him an "A"-hole.
But when the Steamers were being streamed out. Uncle John convinced my 1st Uncle Joe (Mara) to come on board as it's breakman. And the two were the team to match from the end of WW2 until Uncle John retire Dec. 2, 1967. The day the 20th Century Ltd. made it's last run from NYC's Grand Central, through Albany, N.Y. Union Station, to Chicago's La Salle Street Station.
For more than 45 years Uncle John NEVER had a station swap (of crew) until he made his last NYC - Alb. run. It was truly emotional for him and our entire family. But what made the moment even more memorable was that was the road trip that Uncle Joe got his Engineers Cap. Unbeknown to Uncle John, it was his nephew who was assigned to take out his first consist, replacing a legend, with a legend.
As I've said to you in the past I only run "N" scale as a background forced perspective loop. And I will be on the lookout for this MegaSet to add. However one of my first two "O" Gauge sets was the 20th Century Ltd. And currently I have four full 20th Century Ltd. "HO" consists of all three era's and two additional Locos (both are Streamlined Hudson Steamers). So I believe I know the true value of the Kato Set. My suggestion is to get an order in QUICK. They will be hot on the rails.

Hey Ron, your videos have helped me a lot getting back into model trains. Something I have been struggling with when creating my micro layouts is balasting switches. I would love an in depth video about how you balast and clean your switches without damaging them. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this video, Ron!
Oh hey you guys!
Really nice Thanks for sharing
Awesome kit. I’m thinking about using Kato track and system on my next layout.
Such a beautiful set. I'm a huge passenger car fan. Those would be a great addition to any layout
Really awesome review...thanks Ron.. thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.. Lance
Big thumbs up on this video the camera shots are good, and the speaker was clear and informative. well done !. By the way, KATO made the Chicago and Northwestern 400 passenger train set. KATO models are very small! better have good eyes!!
I’m just jumping into this game, and these are the first locomotives I bought, and will convert to DCC.
Love The Rereiler
I've never been into model trains beyond a G scale set around my Christmas tree, but I saw this set and bought it. No background, no experience, and I have nothhing more than came in these boxes. I'm beginning to understand the depth of the rabbit hole I've started down. . .
I will say I'm super impressed on how smoothly and easily the cars roll. Next step is track and transformer.
Wow Ron. What a great set and what a perfect review. These are the kinds of reviews that I enjoy. I get bored with the rivet counters reviews. Who cares to see the car/loco being removed from the styro or the paperwork that comes with the unit. All BS. Yours is right to the point and then the unit is rolling. Love your style of review on this one
Harleymike/Chicago
Great review once again Ron. Thanks for keeping us newbies up to date on things!. One question. Did you by chance measure how long the whole consists was on this? I ask because I am in the design phase for my around the wall layout and would like to see what max consist I can put onto a siding/staging
Wonderful set......thanks for showing
To bad it didn't come with a J-3a Dreyfess steam loco...the most iconic steam ever made!! Even in 1948 they were still around.
Beautiful set!!
#NYCentral
Nice vid.
The availability of the items seems well thought out to accommodate modelers whether DC or DCC, large or not so large.
Yes, you do have a good variety of options with this set.
Great review on the New York Central 20th. Century Limited in Kato N scale. That’s a great addition for the n scale New York Central model railroader. I have the Kato N scale 10 car Southern Pacific Morning Daylight & the Daylight steam locomotive GS4 number 4449 which is my excursion train.
good update
This set is on my wishlist. Well, one of the items on my wish list :)
Well, they are absolutely beautiful models, and obviously quite appropriate for your part of the world. I hope you get your wish.
How about a review of the sound equiped set? Nevertheless a big fan of the New York Central, thanks for what you showed us!
I only had access to the DC set in this case.
Nice set
I'd like to buy a Kato N-gauge train set, but I want to buy a train set of a Japanese train (either a commuter rail train or a bullet one) simply because I find them interesting, and also because I'd like to run something different than what's usually run in North America.
Absolutely beautiful set. I have the main set, along with the four car add-on, and also the two engine set. However, I found that certain cars will not corner properly on 9-3/4 radius curves and jump track. This is due to the factory installed short coupler knuckles. Longer coupler replacements should resolve the problem. However, I prefer not to change their original design and will use this set as a display.
You should add the lighting kit to the coaches and the train, it would look so cool and fancy
Wishing for a Broadway Limited in ho.
I wanna get this set I love New York Central.
Get in line to ride "The Line."
Good review, thanks. I saw one issue at 09:16 in the video. The kitchen dorm is put in the consist "backwards" The vestibule end should attach to the lounge otherwise there would be a vestibule interrupting the flow from the kitchen. The package(s) of the full set and the 4 car add on set have the consist correctly shown. BTW Kato also sells a standalone 4-4-2 Santa Fe "Regal Inn" that ran on the Century as well as the Broadway.
the railcars look great!
I love that set!
Thanks for a great review! Can't wait to get mine in the mail
I’m glad I’m getting this set it would look nice with my Nscale dreyfuss Hudson
Amazing Video! 👍👍👍 Are Kato trains good for Home layouts?
Nice review Ron. I have the previous issue of the NYC 20TH CENTURY but this new set was done very well. My only criticism is it needs a baggage car to compete the consist properly.
Great review! I really enjoy your channel.
nothing beats a long passenger train
Very nice, will Kato be releasing other named passenger trains in N scale?
Very nice set! We need it in HO too! During the holiday season a few of the railroads in northern New Jersey run a "Toys for Tots" special stopping along the way collecting toy donations. The observation car "Hickory Creek" seen in this set is often on that train.
The 20th Century Limited..... running in mountain territory, instead of the Water Level Route 😄 By the way Ron, you may know it, but that observation car in the set, The Hickory Creek, is fully rebuilt and operational today. Look it up
Lol, yes I commented on the region but edited it out. Its just the layout I have.
We have an accurate private car for amtrak trains
Is there a minimum suggested track radius? My layout is small 😔. They look awsome! Thanks for the review!
Nice Model, not my era or railroad, but still very nice. I do like the red carpet ramp
c'mon Kato, just have lighting preinstalled already! $12 per car is ridiculous to charge for lighting plus the futzing around of installing it and the fact that it's never solid, its always dimming unless its soldered.
Nice preview and Nice set!
Great review. I'm looking forward to getting a set with DCC locos oncee they are available in the UK
Do I have to buy the locomotive separate or does it come with it
They are separate.
Hello there @Ron's Trains and Things in brand new to your channel
..... Thanks Ron! (have sub.,) 🇬🇧
Welcome.
I ordered a Kato Allegra over a year ago in the UK and still no delivery to the store. Not impressed.
Haha display tracks I justed add them to my layout
Wow my Grandfather was a Porter on that train. How much for the Engines, 4 car set and the Base set? Does Midwest have them?
Awesome! I like kato!
I have the first run of this set with some add ons. They look gopd being pulled with the reversed 2 tone grey BLI E7AB.
Just curious, does the "red carpet" rerailer work any better than the regular blue Kato rerailing ramp? :) Not that there's anything wrong with the regular ramp; I have one and it works quite well.
No, it works the same. Its just a little bonus for buying such a big, collectable set.
Does Kato use different couplers than other manufacturers? Have you ever experienced any problems with attaching Kato equipment to other equipment?
Nice review
Pretty sure The Flying Scotsman is the most famous train in the world but a very nice model. I've got the Broadway Limited but not the add on yet.
Do you need the front locomotive to operate?
I got a commercial for you on this video
I only counted 12 cars when you showed it run and I thought they were 13
Lol, good catch. There are 13. Its a long story but the Port of Albany got temporarily misplaced without me realizing it when I filmed the run by. Didn't realize it until I was packing them back up.
@@RonsTrainsNThings and Tim Hall 🎵It's not unusual,🎵 for the Port of Albany (All-Baa-Knee) to be overlooked or mispronounced. Take it from someone who grow up there. ~Jim
Isn’t the 20th century limited 14 cars long?
@@marilllover2177 I checked with family who are still working the line.
They said the 20th Century Limited consist ran from 10 to 18 rolling stock. Fewer on the Steam years. More on the Diesel/Electric years. The consist depended on how many passengers or freight were added at Croton-Harmon, Albany Union Sta., Syracuse, Buffalo, Cleveland Ohio, or Detroit Michigan. East or West bound.
I still don't understand how the add on worked.
~Jim
@@jvanamb wow I didn’t know that it was that long thnx
How much is the cost of this set please as of January 2022.
What's the price tag on one of those?
There are multiple option versions of each of the 3 sets. The full rundown including MSRP for every version can be found here: www.katousa.com/N/20thCentury/index.html
@@RonsTrainsNThings thanks bud keep up the hard work. 😎👍
Should’ve been a Dreyfuss Hudson as that is THE 20th Century Limited.
Post 1948
@@RonsTrainsNThings No, they should've made the Dreyfuss and done the pre-war version instead of another diesel engine.
This set would be perfect with Bachmann’s new N scale Hudsons. If only they were streamlined Hudsons.
This is available as a pre lighted set. Is that what is shown here?
This set was not pre-lit, but add-on lighting kits are available as well.
I bought this set and just received it, can I add DCC to the locos that I received? I bought the DC ones...
Was this an advert or just a review?
Just a preview. I only borrowed the set, didn't keep it, and I don't get any sort of remuneration from Kato. I just thought people would enjoy a close up look at the set.
So the two engines could not pull all 13 cars... I only counted 12 cars ?
Man I bet it was hard to pack them back up and send them out. I hate that there isn't passenger trains on the rails like this anymore the colors of all the different roads. Just different with the shiny stuff from Amtrak
Nice set how much is all of it
I'm sure that Kato designed these cars to accept their lighting kits and I didn't see any baggage car ? Any comments?
They do accept Kato lighting kits, yes.
@@RonsTrainsNThings I missed the fact that this consist has a RPO , baggage combined car. Although with the amount of sleeper cars it should have had a separate baggage car. I have Kato's Super Chief and California Zephyr sets and this will be a great addition to the stream liner family. Maybe someday they will make a Pennsylvania R R Broadway Limited.
@@anthonybarkasysr5029they've released the Broadway twice already, and most of the Long distance all sleeper only trains didn't need baggage cars as luggage was kept in the individual sleeper compartments....the Broadway also has an RPO-baggage combine...
@@sethkimmel7312
Did they ever do a Broadway in ho?
New here so just asking, from an old O man
While the deals are cool I prefer the true twentieth century limited
LOL - Was just going to press the thumbs up but noticed it is at '666'! Er, kinda don't want to jinx anything by changing it!
No lights in the cars? Unbelievable.
Ron: I wish that the 3 negative Nancys that gave a thumbs down would please explain why? Come on. After all this is about model trains after all.
Thanks Ken. I agree, but the truth is I have a couple haters who 👎🏼 every video I publish right off the bat. Its part of the territory.
@@RonsTrainsNThings Life is to short. Wish I could get more ideas from your layout. I will be in a mythical part of the Midwest. However I want to model an area very similar to the George Town loop in Colorado. My son lives in Colorado and by being there I have seen a number of the train lover locations. Still have some to see. Thanks this is a pretty passenger train like all of the Kato’s.
Cool beans
Why should you take an interest in model trains as a hobby? you can focus your creative ideas on layouts. You learn patence. your wife or lady friend wont bother you if you let her shop You leaen not to let your dog chew up your train.!You can build a layout in any room of your house except the shower. You can be blessed with nerves of steel trying to put things together,.You will have a deeper appreciation for the ninga like qualitys the people have that made things this small!and may go insane doing it!
be better with real train song like John henry
Perhaps, but that would get me a copyright strike.
@@RonsTrainsNThings JUST kidding guy....i wanted to see if you knew it was John henry that they were improvising off of..
Gloves?
