The kato 109 chassis are very good and we still have plenty of chassis in the group sales, David.

I agree they are great however this hasn't happened to me yet, but I have read twice now (in the other place) that if you overload them with a heavy loco and the too much rolling stock the gearbox can jump.

The problem with the Kato 11-109 have happened when it was used under a Peco whitemetal GVT tram loco kit, which is very heavy. It woud be hard to weight up a 3D print, plasticard or brass loco to the same extent. The message here is, don't overdo the weight, but under normal circumstances it seems to be a very fine chassis.
