| Superliners |
|
Background Information
|
Model Features
|
Amtrak currently operates Superliner 1 and Superliner 2
cars. Delivery of the original Superliner 1 cars
began in
1979 with the first cars operating on short runs originating
in Seattle and Chicago.
As more cars arrived, entire Superliner
trainsets replaced trains on existing Western routes.
The
height of a Superliner generally precludes its operating
in the Northeast because of tunnel
clearance concerns.
Kato's models are based on the five Superliner 1 car types.
They are: Coach-Baggage, Coach,
Diner, Sleeper, and Lounge. |
All cars are factory equipped with the Kato fully-automatic
knuckle coupler and feature finely
lettering with car number
and other markings. Interiors of the cars can be lighted
with the installation
of our 11-211(single) or
11-212 (6-pack) light sets with LEDs.
|
| Material Handling Cars |
|
Background Information
|
Amtrak rosters two types of MHC cars, or Material Handling
Cars. They are known by modelers as MHC-1 or MHC-2. The
original 1400-series MHC-1 cars were built by Thrall in
1986 utilizing rebuilt trucks from former REA express cars
with a short wheelbase; this car has been previously offered
by Con-Cor.
In 1989 Amtrak began receiving a second version of the MHC,
the MHC-2, which carry road #'s: in the 1500-series.
These cars differed in some notable ways. The trucks were
a new design that had a longer wheelbase than the earlier
cars. Further, there was a body snubber anchor mounted on
the sides of the car above each truck. These two details
are the most obvious differences between the two car series,
however the body and roof are entirely different from the
earlier cars.
|
 |
|
Model Features
|
|
This production of the MHC-2 will be decorated in Amtrak's
Phase IV paint scheme. All cars are factory equipped with
Kato's Magnetic Knuckle Coupler with fine lettering. Cars
will be equipped with trucks that have pickup contacts.
This will facilitate modeler installation of aftermarket
End of Train / Flashing Rear End Devices (EOT/FRED). NOTE:
Kato does not manufacture EOT/FRED kits.

| Transition Car Release |
| Part #: Kat-156-0954 - Amtrak - Road #: 39027 - Superliner II Transition Sleeper Phase IVb |
The original Santa Fe “Step Down Coach” was, for many years, an absolutely necessary car for any Superliner Consist as trains had to accommodate both single and bi-level cars in order to deal with baggage and crew accommodations.
With the construction of Amtrak’s fleet of second generation Superliner cars in 1990 (the appropriately named Superliner II’s), Amtrak turned its attention to replacing the now-decades old Step Down Coaches it had inherited from the Santa Fe with the new “Transition Sleeper” or “Transition Dormitory” car. With roomette accommodations for the train’s crew as well as dining and lounge space, these crew cars were to take the place of the older Santa Fe Step Down cars in Amtrak’s fleet, functioning both as a crew quarters and a hi-low transition car.
Currently, virtually every Superliner Consist in operation in Amtrak Service has some form of transition car, with the latest paint schemes being reserved for the newer Superliner II Cars. This Kato N scale model will be a fully licensed and accurate recreation of this new, Modern Transition car and will be a must-have for any N scale modeler who operates existing Phase IVb Superliner Trains!

Phase I scheme on passenger cars consisted of Amtrak's "Pointless
Arrow" logo on one end of the car along with a "cigar
band" consisting of a wide red stripe, a narrow white
stripe in the middle and a wide blue stripe on the bottom.

Background
Information
|
When
Amtrak began operations, they acquired
a large number of passenger and baggage cars that
had previously been owned by various railroads. Because
of the importance of their service, a large number
of baggage cars were repainted and remained in the
Phase I paint scheme for many years.
Two
of Amtrak's "smoothside" baggage cars came from Union
Pacific and were renumbered as 1075 and 1076 when
they were repainted for Amtrak. The Phase I paint
scheme is an excellent match for the Phase II paint
scheme that appears on the Superliners also being
produced by Kato. |

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
