Model Information:
Kato’s new ALC-42 ‘Charger’ model represents the Siemens Diesel-Electric engine as it has been ordered by Amtrak long distance service. This model differs from other regional variations of the ‘Charger’ model with an extended nose section, larger fuel tank and sandfill tank, and other internal modifications to make it better fit Amtrak’s needs for cross country travel. All of these details have been carefully and lovingly replicated on the brand new Kato model, which features totally new molding and design from the ground up.

The smooth curves of the engine are precisely modeled to match the prototype, with a visible engine compartment beneath the engine’s distinctive large grill on the side. In order to duplicate the illuminated engine compartment from the prototype model, an interior lighting kit is capable of being installed into the rear of the engine, allowing modelers to enjoy this extra lighting feature.

Model Features:

Everything you need to start your own N scale model railroad!

• Track:  Each Kato N Scale Starter Set Contains a 3 x 4 oval of N 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!

• Power: Katos 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!

• Trains: Katos Starter Sets include one of a number of either modern or classic freight or passenger locomotives and associated cars! Whether you're looking to build a Classic Santa Fe mini-Chief with a Super Chief starter set, get going with a modern freight line with our ES44AC 'GEVO' freight starter sets, or even model Amtrak premier passenger services with a P42 or ACS-64 Amtrak starter set, Kato can put you on the right track.
