Kato HO 35-6211 Viewliner II Baggage Car Amtrak 'Phase III Heritage' #61006
Prototype Information Viewliner II Baggage:
The Viewliner II is Amtrak’s newest addition to its fleet of single-level rolling stock, with planned rollouts of Baggage cars, diners, and Sleeping cars all expected to enter standard service through the next few years. As of April 2022, Amtrak is operating 55 Baggage cars in this new style, wearing a special ‘Phase III Heritage’ paint scheme that combines the classic red-white-and-blue stripes with Amtrak’s new modern logo and the phrase ‘Amtrak America’. While the Viewliner and Amfleet single-level cars are typically designed for use throughout the Eastern United States on long distance trains, the new Viewliner II Baggage cars are also used on Superliner trains, making them extremely versatile and a great addition to a model railroader’s HO scale Amtrak fleet.
Model Features:
- Designed to operate along with Kato's HO Superliners.
- Metal weights give prototypical heft and momentum
- Optional kinematic couplers allow prototypical close coupling while still navigating tight radius curves.
- Fully detailed interior can be lit with optional 7-504 Interior Lighting Kit
- Designed with easily illuminated marker lights with optional light board #958046
- Free rolling, detailed trucks with rotating bearing caps and shock absorber construction.

Kato HO viewliner baggage car
Kato did a pretty good job with this car. Nice metallic paint and lettering. It will make a nice addition to a more modern Amtrak train. The only drawbacks are: little detail on the ends around the couplers, no way to change out their nice knuckle coupler to a kadee and the gimmick of actual rotating bearing caps on the trucks keeps them from rolling as good as Kato trucks are known for.
