Kato N Scale Gallery Bi-Level 3 Car Set, Chicago Metra / Sound – 106-8703-S

Prototype Information

Nippon Sharyo Gallery Bi-Level Cars:
The modern Nippon Sharyo-built Gallery Bi-Level is based off of the same concept as the original Santa Fe El Capitan Bi-level design concept, whose success went on to inspire such double decker cars as Amtraks Superliners and the Bombardier Bi-Level car which is also used in commuter service. Today, gallery Bi-Level cars such as those used by the Chicago Metra commuter service can be seen operating in several states across the United States, such as Virginia and California.

Model Features:

• Designed to be pulled by either MPI MP36PH or EMD F40PH locomotives.
• Bi-Level cab coaches feature directional lighting for push-pull operation, with alternate illuminating headlight and taillights with an on/off switch for mid-train operation. An optional FL12 decoder can be installed in the place of the slider switch to provide DCC control over the directional lighting.
• Smooth rolling blackened metal wheels on all Bi-level cars with all-wheel electrical pickup.
• Pre-installed Cab Car sounds
