Amtrak SC-44 and Pacific Surfliner 8 Unit Set with Pre-Installed Lighting (KAT106-9010-1)

Amtrak SC-44 Charger and Pacific Surfliner 8-Unit Set with Pre-Installed Lighting is an HO-scale model ensemble from KATO that recreates Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner roster, led by the SC-44 Charger locomotive with a distinctive short-nose cowl and followed by Surfliner passenger cars in the blue and silver livery. The eight-unit set ships with lighting pre-installed, so directional headlights and illuminated number boards come to life right out of the box.

Designed for realism and ease of use, the set is DCC-friendly and ready for optional interior lighting upgrades (11-211) or decoders (FR11/FR12) for expanded lighting control. It features a five-pole motor with all-wheel pickup and blackened wheels for smooth operation, plus body-mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. Bi-Level Surfliner coaches offer directional lighting for push-pull operation, creating a convincing Pacific Surfliner consist on any layout.
