First Run of Kato GS4 Has DCC Problems

Kato Product Page

This is from Kato's website. I figured everyone should know:

Dear Kato Customer,

While the new N GS4 operates well in DC mode, we understand there is an issue with the use of DCC in the GS4 locomotive.

To prevent damage to the locomotive and decoders, we ask that customers DO NOT install decoders in their locomotives and to NOT operate them on DCC until we announce a correction to this issue in the very near future.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause some of our customers.

We will resolve this issue in a timely and effective manner.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Best regards,

Staff of Kato USA, Inc.

Note (February 4, 2011)
Subsequent runs of the Kato N GS4 had the problem corrected.
