As usual an excellent smooth running KATO LOCO, I am not usually a fan of the RhB advertising locos but when looking on the RhB website in the webcams section it is noticeable that the advertising locos look really good, So probably more will be coming my way soon!! PS my order containing the loco arrived very rapidly.
