ATSF "El Capitan"
"El Capitan" sets are now in stock!!!

Kato El Capitan
Santa Fe "El Capitan"

Re-live some great moments in history in miniature with Kato's "El Capitan". Usually pulled by an F7A-B-B-A lashup during the last half of the 1950's -- the period selected by Kato to base their new set on. "The "El Capitan" offered coach travel between Chicago and Los Angeles using hi-level coaches, a diner and lounge. It usually had 10 cars but during the summer it increased to 12 cars.

Kato selected the most popular time period of 1956 through 1958 when this train was operated, promoted and advertised by the AT&SF Railroad as its premier all coach hi-level train between Chicago and Los Angeles with a transition car and step-down cars with operating tail lights and a drumhead on the rear of one of the 68 seat coach cars.

In January 1958, the "El Capitan" and the "Super Chief" were consolidated but during the high traffic periods (Christmas and the summer months), the "El Capitan" ran separate from the "Super Chief".

Kato's new release will give you the opportunity to operate this "El Capitan" along with the Kato "Super Chief" (previously released) with all of the correct cars. The combined train was frequently pulled by 5 locomotives, an F7A-A-B-B-A lashup.

The "El Capitan" 10 Car Passenger Set consists of:
(1) baggage-dormitory (transition car)
(1) hi-level 68 sea coach (step-down)
(5) hi-level 72 seat coaches
(1) 80 seat diner
(1) lounge (2 bars)
(1) hi-level 68 seat coach (with tail light/tail sign)

The "El Capitan" 2 Car Add-On Set consists of:
(1) storage-mail baggage car
(1) baggage

New Kato LED Lighting Kits are now available. Not only do the LED's illuminate better, they are recommended because they do not create heat. In some cases, particularly with the use of DCC, there have been reports of the standard lights (11204/11206) damaging cars by melting plastic. Though more expensive, we strongly recommend the new LED light kits
