I've yet to meet a Kato model I didn't like (this is my fifth), and the E235 is a little marvel - crisp moulding inside & out, perfect paintwork & lettering, and on test it ran like a dream, quiet & smooth. The illuminated headboards are a delightful touch, and overall this is a delightful memento of a train type I've had the pleasure to ride - top-notch stuff!
