KATO 30-3003 HO Scale Amtrak P42 #161 50th Anniversary Train Set

Amtrak P42 Superliner Starter Sets from Kato are a great start for beginners in HO Scale who want reliable trains and easy track assembly. Each set includes a GE P42 diesel, Viewliner Baggage Car, a Superliner Lounge and a Superliner Coach, plus the HM1 HO Unitrack Starter Kit which includes a 7'8" x 4'6-3/4" oval of Kato Unitrack, rerailer and Kato Power Pack SX with wall transformer, all designed for years of reliable operation and plenty of fun! Locomotives in the new sets are available in several of Amtrak's schemes.

Each Kato HO Scale Starter Set Contains a 7.7 x 4.5 oval of HO gauge Unitrack, including a track feeder, a road crossing and rerailing track, and a book of directions for additional layout plans.Kato UNITRACK uses a special alloy of nickel silver to prevent tarnishing and reduces the frequency of cleaning that is required. If you’re an occasional modeler who only pulls out the train set on holidays, that means you don’t need to worry about your rails rusting away in the package! Likewise, if you operate your trains on a daily basis, you’ll have to clean your track less often and have fewer instances of lost conductivity!

Kato’s included Power Pack SX is powerful but simple to use, with keyed & color-coded connectors and an easy-to-understand control system, making it suitable for modelers of all ages. The Power Pack SX can also be upgraded with optional alternative power supplies for modelers looking to expand their train operations and run bigger and larger trains in either HO or N scale, so you don’t have to worry about it becoming obsolete as you expand your layout!

Katos Starter Sets includes a highly detailed HO P42 model. One of the most reliable locomotives in the market the HO P42 is sure to run for a long time! Coming with one Viewliner II baggage car and superliners to make a full train you can run prototypical consists just with your starter set!
