HO Kato E5 sets at Kliens

[cteno4]

I was surprised to see on MB Kleins (modeltrainstuff.com) website they were hilighting the Kato HO E5 on the home page slide show and selling it!

 

Kleins picks up kato japanese stuff now and then and has a good pile of it for a while then they usually fire sale off the remainder and then not much for a while then do it all over again! 

 

wonder if this will be a seller in the US? cost is quite high, dont know what a similar passenger and loco set in HO would cost for something special to compare it to at $690 for the 10 car setup.

Just over £400.00 for a full 10-coach train with two motors does not seem excessively high a price. MB Klein are not my favourite people at the moment...tried to purchase two packs of coupling and was quoted $43.00 postage! When I asked if there was any way to send it cheaper, I received a 'computer says no' reply.
