HO M-K California Coach with Lights and Sound (ATHG24452)

HO-scale M-K California Coach with Lights and Sound is a detailed Amtrak bi-level intercity coach designed for HO layouts. The model reproduces the distinctive California Car used on Amtrak’s intercity services and is available in both LED-lit and sound-equipped versions, featuring an on-board NCE DCC decoder and interior LEDs for operation on DCC or analog power. Licensed Amtrak paint, tinted windows, and authentic end details mirror the real car, while the roster includes coach, coach-baggage, and cafe car configurations; cab-car variants include era-appropriate headlights and antenna arrangements for added realism.

Crafted in plastic for crisp detail, the car rides on RP25 wheel contours and McHenry scale knuckles, with all-wheel electrical pickup for dependable current flow on common HO tracks. LED interior lighting provides steady cabin illumination, and the DCC decoder makes lighting control straightforward on your DCC system. The sound-equipped version uses a Tsunami SoundCar decoder with exclusive Surfliner sounds—A/C, doors, announcements, toilets, rail noise, brakes, and authentic cab-car horn and bell—plus working headlights and flashing ditch lights on cab-car configurations. Together, the authentic paint, interior detailing, and prototype-informed features create a convincing Amtrak California experience on a model railroad.
