The above ad for the Kato C44-9W comes from
the June 1996 Railroad Model Craftsman magazine.
May 1996 brings Kato's initial collection of HO-scale C44-9W diesels
to market with a retail price of $134.98. The first group included: ATSF, CN, CNW, CSX, SP, UP, plus Undecorated
examples of both shell variations.
Kato's second production run of C44-9W models included BNSF (Heritage
I scheme), Chicago & North Western (Operation Lifesaver), Norfolk Southern, and Santa Fe. The retail was $134.98
each for the 1997 C44-9W examples.
Jeff Wilson reviews the Kato Dash 9-44CW in the September 1996 Model
Railroader magazine. The April and May 1996 issues of Model Railroader included articles on the General
Electric Dash 9 series that included information regarding differences among the prototypes per roadname.
