Kato14-070 Hiroshima Railway Type 200 Hannover Tram (N Scale)

Update: The second trolley didn't run well for long. It became very herky-jerky at slow speed, and just didn't ride well on my unitrack. I gave up and returned it. I replaced it with a different brand that runs beautifully, so I know it's not my setup.The one I received ran around a small loop 3 times and died. I have had good luck with Kato before, so I decided to send it back and get another. The second unit ran a little herky jerky for about the first 10 minutes, then settled in and ran nice and smooth. I broke it in running it for 15 minutes in each direction. By the end, it was pretty hot, although no sign of trouble or whiff of any smoke. After it cooled off, I put it on my end to end line running much slower, and it barely gets warm. As another reviewer said, this trolley is capable of WAY more speed than a real trolley would run at. Something to keep in mind. It does run smooth at slow speeds though, so it's not a problem.I wanted a "quaint" looking trolley, but had heard bad things about the Bachmann Brill Trolleys, and I didn't want to cough up the extra money for a modern looking Centram Trolley either. This looks to be the perfect solution for me. No news is good news, If you don't see any updates to this reviewm you can assume the Trolley is chugging right along.

申し分ない作り込み、スムースな走行。B4サイズ程度の楕円レールでは、低速走行がたまりません。

カーブに余裕が有るレールで走行させたが、スムーズに動作しない。このサイズに使われている動力ユニットに基本個体差があるのではないでしょうか？前回このシリーズ系のチキンラーメン号を購入したが、全く同じ症状。わざわざ修理にだすのも馬鹿らしいので初めから飾る目的で、と思ったほうが良いと思います。

半径150mmの曲線レール28本でテーブルにレイアウトを作りました。　そこには路面電車など小さな電車が映えます。　ハノーバー電車は走りも良くMyレイアウトサイズにぴったりで気に入っています！
