Kato 106-6293 Amfleet II Coach 2-Car Set Amtrak Phase III #25000 & #25068 N Scale

Product Overview

Introduced in 1981, the Amfleet II arrived during the EMD F40PH's life cycle in Amtrak service. Sometimes affectionately called the “Amtube” by enthusiasts because of its distinctive rounded form, the Amfleet II featured larger windows and more comfortable seating conditions than its predecessor. Designed for longer-distance travel than the Amfleet I, the cars retained the versatility of a single-level design compared with Amtrak's taller, double-decker Superliner equipment. This Kato two-car set provides a pair of individually numbered Amfleet II coaches in the recognizable Amtrak Phase III scheme for expanding a period passenger consist.

Why We Love This Set

A pair of separately numbered coaches makes it easy to add meaningful length to an Amtrak train without duplicating road numbers. Combined with Kato's other Amfleet II and supporting passenger equipment, this set helps create the longer, varied consists associated with Amtrak intercity service. The Phase III striping also gives these cars the unmistakable red, white, and blue appearance of one of Amtrak's most recognizable eras.
