The fall of 1992 brings Kato's second HO-scale
diesel model to the U.S. market in the form of an EMD GP35. The model's 1992 retail was $109.98 and Kato offered ten
road names, plus an undecorated example in the first production run.
Model Railroader magazine's
Jim Hediger conducted the magazine's product review for Kato's GP35. Hediger notes the model's Phase Ia bodystyle
characteristics, "the Phast Ia identifying features are seven sets of latches on the tall engine doors, no bump over the inertial
air filter compartment, and thick side sills." MR's test subject was Kato's orange and silver Western Pacific example.
