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

An eight-unit HO-scale set from Kato featuring Amtrak's SC-44 Charger locomotive paired with Pacific Surfliner bi-level passenger cars, all with pre-installed DCC. This detailed model faithfully reproduces the SC-44 with its short-nose cowl and destination markings, and it wears the Pacific Surfliner's blue-and-silver livery that mirrors the real coastal service along California's route.

Designed for smooth operation on modern model rail layouts, the locomotives use body-mounted magnetic knuckle couplers, golden-white directional headlights with illuminated number boards, and a five-pole motor with all-wheel electrical pickup backed by blackened wheels for realistic performance. The units are DCC-friendly and provide space for a speaker in the fuel-tank area, while see-through engine vents can be lit with an optional interior lighting kit. The Bi-Level coaches add directional lighting for push-pull operation, and the set supports additional DCC lighting options to heighten realism on Pacific Surfliner scenes.
