Amtrak Material Handling Cars

The Kato #106-3506 Amtrak Material Handling Cars Phase III, Set C2 are not your ordinary train cars. They are the unsung heroes of the railroad world, the ones that carry all the heavy stuff so the passenger cars can look pretty and have all the fun.

These cars were produced by Kato, a Japanese company known for their high-quality model trains. The #106-3506 set includes two Material Handling Cars, road numbers 1508 and 1553. They are part of the Amtrak Phase III series, which means they have a sleek, modern design that will make all the other model trains jealous. These cars are perfect for those who want to add a touch of realism to their model train layout. They can be used to haul all sorts of cargo, from mail to luggage to spare parts for the snack car.

Asking price for the pair is $60.00 plus shipping.
