Robert Never let go of a Highliner, I don't know about Kato drives, never had one.
Rudy ??/*TWITCH*/??
My F3s run good, quiet and IF I ever go DCC, 8 pin on the Board. The F3B is out of a 12 hour bath, she is almost all Bare Plastic, The F3A is in her dirty bath water(IE 91% alcohol), paint is wrinkling up fine.

Highliner + Kato is the best of both worlds!

I Guess I have to find a Kato Drive for my Highliner destined to be F-9, I did not even think about how many LifeLikes ie pk1 and pk2 I have until I took photos, 5 of 'em, may not be a lot to some, But considering I have two spectrums for my Christmas layout, 2 powered Athearn, and now the SD40, Lifelike is 50% of my power, and 80% of what I plan on using for my layout. But I am still tempted 48% off and the newer version retail for 10% more, If I don't get one set, I will always regret it.

Well I broke down and ordered a set, these are for the burners behind the back burners, but the price is right, maybe they can become some cheapie, quality builds, I was reviewing Which F3/F7s I want them to become, I also orders a couple bay window cabooses for correcting. The weather is beautiful outside, I am gone!!
