Kato 35-6027 HO Scale Pullman Bi-Level 4 Window Cab Coach Chicago Metra 8730

The Bi-Level “Gallery” commuter car continues to be a favorite design of many commuter rail agencies throughout the United States and Canada. The design made its debut on the Chicago & North Western railroad for their Chicago area commuter service in the 1950s.

The Chicago Metra Pullman Bi-Level car is fully featured with prototype smooth rolling trucks, full interiors and the distinctive green tinted windows of the Chicago commuter service.

The body of the car itself is adorned in a two-tone silver painted layout that emulates the real car’s mix of bare stainless steel (such as on the doors or the metal “METRA” ownership plate) and silver paint; unlike later cars such as the Nippon Sharyo bi-levels, the Pullman cars did not have stainless steel bodies and thus were painted to try and mimic the appearance of stainless cars.

FEATURES:

• Perfectly suited to be pulled by Kato’s EMD F40PH locomotives
• Includes optional Kinematic Knuckle Couplers to allow the cars to run close to each other without sacrificing turning radius.
• Interior detailing that can be enjoyed with our HO interior lighting kits (7-503).
• Prototypical green tinted windows.
• Cab-Coaches are equipped with directional headlights which can be switched on and off for mid-train operation.

NOTE: Road number may vary from picture shown.
