HO UAC TurboTrain DC/DCC/Sound Early AMTK Set (RPI203503)

The HO UAC TurboTrain DC/DCC/Sound Early AMTK Set is a remarkable representation of a historic railway model. The TurboTrain, which achieved a record-breaking speed of 170.8 MPH on the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1967, brings a piece of train history to life for model train enthusiasts. This model captures the essence of its real-life counterpart, featuring designs based on original blueprints from United Aircraft.

This updated version, Turbo 2.0, offers a new, smooth-running drive system that ensures excellent slow-speed performance, making it a joy to operate on model railroads. With uniquely designed Single Axle Trucks that feature free rolling, needlepoint axles, this set promises reliable performance with every wheel contributing to power pickup. The accurate colors and detailing on the Amtrak models are approved by Amtrak itself, ensuring authenticity.

Additionally, the TurboTrain is engineered to negotiate curves as tight as 18” radius and includes three different Power Dome Cars along with six Intermediate Cars for enhanced accuracy. Bright, golden-white LED headlights and a roof-mounted SMD interior lighting system illuminate your model effectively. Each Power Dome Car is equipped with ESU LokSound V5 decoders and high-quality speakers, providing the only accurate TurboTrain sounds recorded from the last surviving prototypes in 1982. This model operates on both DC and DCC, catering to a wide range of railroad setups.
