At the rate things are being cut, you may have a real viewliner 2 diner and baggage car for sale.

But those won't fit under my bed!

By next Christmas, I will have an N-scale Amtrak set to roll around the tree.

I was really hoping that Kato would do a special edition Viewliner 2 four-pack with the 61000, 62500, 68000 and 69000 all with the pointless arrow logo.

Agreed!

(Just so you know though, the diners and baggage cars don't have pointless arrows. )

Real model trains are HO!

You will pay for those words.

You will pay for those words.

How much? :lol:  

 

[bcanedy]

How much?

 

$35 according to Kato‘s website.

The first car in each series does. Look up the specific numbers I posted and you’ll see.

Oh, sorry! I should have figured that from your phrasing.  :blush:

I do wonder why they did it that way...

But the food portions will be REALLY TINY!!!

And that will be before the last sleeper and bag dorms are put into service. :giggle: :unsure: :help:

Real model trains are HO!  

O gauge all the way.

I have an N gauge Amtrak Cap Ltd layout under my bed.  Has the new baggage car and transition sleeper along with two other sleepers, 3 coaches including a bag/coach, diner and SSL.  Two P42s pulling the consist.    A nice Kato set that had to replace the 35' x 24' HO layout in my former home.. When you move to a condo, you have to make do with the space you have..

OMG, this is literally EXACTLY what I have at home. My (N scale) layout slides out from underneath my bed, and run my three Phase III Kato Superliner sets, pulled by Phase V P42 #123 and Phase III Anniversary P42 #145. I guess it is closer to the length of the Starlight than the Capitol, but still pretty darn close.

@KatoUSAInc: Straight from the factory design department in Japan, we have a first-look at a pre-production sample of the upcoming N Scale Amtrak Viewliner II Baggage Car! This was announced last month and will be available in June 2019!
