Kato USA Inc. N ALC-42 Charger Superliner Amtrak Starter Set

The Kato N Scale Amtrak Superliner Starter Set includes a variety of high-quality components that provide an immersive and authentic model railroading experience. At the heart of the set is the ALC-42 Amtrak Phase VI #302 locomotive, which has been meticulously designed to capture the details of the real-world Siemens Diesel-Electric engine used in Amtrak's long-distance service.

The locomotive features a powerful five-pole motor with all-wheel electrical pickup, providing smooth and reliable performance. Its directional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated pre-printed number boards add to the realistic visual appeal, while the hybrid steel and plastic wheels ensure seamless electrical contact with the track.

To further enhance the realism, the ALC-42 locomotive is designed to be DCC friendly, with a pre-built speaker housing space in the fuel tank, allowing for the installation of optional sound features. The prototypical see-through venting on the side of the engine can also be illuminated using the optional 11-211 Interior Lighting Kit, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the model.

Accompanying the ALC-42 locomotive are three Amtrak Superliner I cars in various configurations: a Sleeper Phase VI #32052, a Coach-Baggage Phase VI #31021, and a Coach Phase VI #34055. Each car has been meticulously crafted to replicate the distinct features and styling of the real-world Superliner passenger cars, including the use of KATO's magnetic knuckle couplers for reliable coupling.

The starter set also includes a complete oval of track, measuring 24-3/4" x 50", with a 12 3/8" radius. This track system, along with the included grade crossing and rerailing track, provides a solid foundation for building and expanding your N Scale Amtrak layout.

To power the entire setup, the Kato Power Pack SX is included, ensuring a reliable and consistent supply of electricity to the locomotives and accessories.

Officially licensed by Amtrak, this starter set is a must-have for N Scale enthusiasts and Amtrak fans alike. With its attention to detail, high-quality components, and the ability to customize with optional features, the Kato N Scale Amtrak Superliner Starter Set offers an immersive and engaging model railroading experience.
