Top quality N-gauge chassis. Picks up on all 8 wheels, drives through 4 wheels on one bogie. This is useful as it's easy to shorten or lengthen the chassis to suit. I am using it under a 009 diesel kit and have had to shorten it by about 3mm to suit. This was quite easy and much easier than most 8 wheel drive chassis. The chassis itself is an excellent and smooth runner.

I used a dock side and it worked very well. Very little modification. Adding MTL couplers is a problem. I used dummy knuckles. **Q: Is the Kato 11-105 driven on one truck or two** A: Electrical pick up seems to be both trucks, but only one truck drives the train. **Q: Re: Kato motorized chasses 11-103 through 11-107, which is more powerful? also shortest vs. longest? where bodies available? Thanks.** A: Hi , it is different of these unit number to be installed the power unit . So , it is not the powerful , but the type to be the making trains . The 11-103 is used to light , small trains , for example B trains shorty . In N Scale , it needs not to be the powerful . I think , It is difficult to be changed from the train of 11-103 to the unit of 11-107. The speed is from power pack . **Q: What are the dimensions, Length,width, height. & truck spacing ?** A: 58mm long x 15.3 mm wide . 32 mm center to center of the trucks . 15.9 mm high , if you search this on a popular online auction site they show pictures of it with the measurements . you'll probably need to look at several listings to find the seller that shows pictures . when I purchased several of these here Amazon had the best price ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Smooth Runner *by K***N on 28 October 2023* Only tried it on a test track, not used in the loco I intend it to be put in, but, it runs very smoothly and quietly ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality chassis *by C***R on 27 August 2013* Kato - made in Japan.
