The Streamliner cars were a class of streamlined railway cars built in the 1940s through the 1950s for long distance passenger rail services in North America . Amtrak received 1200 streamliner cars as heritage-fleet from the US railroads in 1971. After refurbishment, the cars were used until the late 1990s/early 2000s, with some cars, chiefly baggage and dining cars, used into the late 2010s, until Amtrak retired all of its heritage equipment in 2019 . Phase IV was introduced by Amtrak in 1993 as a striking departure from the traditional red, white, and blue style seen previously. It has two thin red stripes and a thick dark blue stripe. The Phase IV paint scheme was brought into service with the delivery of the newer Superliner II cars .
The Kato #106-3504 Amtrak Superliner Passenger Cars Phase IV, Set A were produced by Kato, a Japanese company known for their high-quality model trains. The #106-3504 set includes four cars: a coach, a coach-baggage, a sleeper, and a diner. They are part of the Amtrak Phase IV series, which means they have a classic and timeless look.
The asking price for these four cars is $170.00 plus shipping.
Lighting is not standard in these cars but has been included at no charge - a $35.00 value. Keep track and wheels clean!
