This is a Kato USA Inc 106079 N Scale El Capitan 10-Car Passenger Set Amtrak (Phase I; silver, Wide red & blue Stripes). Second only to the Super Chief in importance, Santa Fe's El Capitan offered equally fast travel at more affordable fares. Refitted in 1956 with new Hi-Level cars to provide maximum seating, the unique train was later combined with the Super Chief in 1958 during off-peak travel seasons. Modeling this amazing streamliner is easy with these sets that feature: * All-new tooling for Baggage-Dormitory Transition Car & Step-down Coach * Tail-end coach has illuminated marker lights & light-up El Capitan Conquistador Drumhead * Each car is equipped with low flange wheels, KATO magnetic knuckle couplers & shock absorber construction for smooth & reliable operation * Colored interior piece to more closely match the prototypes * Can be paired up with the Santa Fe Super Chief (#381-106076 sold separately) to replicate post-1958 combination trains * Interior can be lighted with #381-11209 or 210 Interior Light Kit with White LED (Light Kit with White LED is DCC friendly) Inspired by Budd{s bi-level commuter cars, Santa Fe's Hi-Level cars were built especially for its popular coach streamliner El?Capitan and proved an instant hit with riders from 1954 to 1971 when Amtrak took over. Following the change, Amtrak continued to operate the combined Super Chief/El Capitan with the same mix of Hi-Level and standard cars. Based on the trains as they appeared after 1971 in Phase I colors, this set features Unitrak for display and special packaging, along with these cars: Baggage #1027, Baggage-Dormitory Transition Car #9991, Hi-Level Step-Down Coach #9909, Hi-Level Coach #9928, Hi-Level Coach #9931, Hi-Level Diner #9985, Hi-Level Lounge #9972, Hi-Level Coach #9940, Hi-Level Coach #9964, and Hi-Level Step-Down Coach #9907 with illuminated Amtrak tail sign. Each car features low flange wheels, Kato magnetic knuckle couplers and shock absorber construction for smooth and reliable operation. Car interiors can be illuminated with #381-11211 or #381-11212 Version 2 Interior Light kits with LED, each sold separately.
