Description
This is Kato 35-6063 HO Amtrak Superliner I Lounge PhIVb #33019. Amtrak Superliner I lounge Phase IVb #33019. 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. When originally delivered in the 1970s, Superliner I lounges were referred to as ”Lounge Caf” cars. These were fitted with enormous windows that wrapped upward into the ceiling, providing views of scenery along the train’s route, like the dome cars of old.
Its key features are:
Perfectly suited to be pulled by Kato’s EMD F40PH locomotives or GE P42 ”Genesis” locomotives
Amtrak’s most current paint scheme
All details factory installed
Metal weights give prototypical heft and momentum
Optional included Kinematic couplers allow prototypical close coupling while still navigating tight radii
Fully detailed interiors behind flush, tinted windows that are illuminated by a built-in interior lighting system which illuminates the lower deck of the car
Free rolling, detailed trucks with rotating bearing caps and shock-absorber construction
Note: the Superliner lounge is not compatible with the optional #958046 marker light board
