Kato N Scale ~ Superliner II Transition Sleeper Passenger Car ~ Amtrak Phase VI #39041 ~ 156-0957
Prototype Information:
The Superliner II fleet was introduced in 1990 as Amtrak's next generation
of its now ubiquitous Superliners. Visually very similar to their older cousins,
the Superliner II's have a host of mechanical and electrical improvements to
their design as well as construction. One of the new styles of car introduced
with this new generation of cars was the "Transition Sleeper", or "Transition Dormitory" car.
Intended to replace the aging High-Level Step Down cars, the Transition Sleeper fulfills
a similar role by having high and low level diaphragms on either end of the car as well
as having on-board crew accommodations
MODEL INFORMATION:
Fully detailed interiors can be lit with optional, NOT INCLUDED, Interior lighting kit
with LED #11-211/11-212
Finely detailed with prototype accurate painting and lettering
Free and smooth rolling trucks for maximum performance
All cars are equipped with Kato semi-automatic knuckle couplers
Designed to be pulled by Kato's EMD F40PH or GE P42 "Genesis" Locomotives
