Caltrain provides commuter rail service along the San Francisco Peninusla, through the South Bay to San Jose and Gilroy. Currently, Caltrain operates a fleet of nearly 100 Nippon Sharyo Bi-Level Commuter cars, similar to those used by the Chicago Metra and Virginia Railway Express, which they operate in 5-car trains being pulled by equipment such as their Alstom-overhauled EMD F40PH locomotives.
This Custom run of Caltrain Bi-Level Commuter cars will be repainted and re-detailed with some minor physical modifications (such as new signboards to represent the accurate location of the caltrain logo on the cars) to make the cars more accurate to the appearance of these cars in Caltrain service. They will be packaged in a 5-car bookcase box, with a total of three standard Bi-Level coaches and two Cab-Coaches (a common consist layout for a Caltrain commuter train), with space in the bookcase for one or two Caltrain F40PH locomotives. Please note, as these cars are repaints of Metra cars, some details may not be 100% accurate to the Caltrain cars.
As part of its Kobo custom line, Kato USA offers special exclusive produc-tion runs of special paint schemes and super detailed cars! These items are custom built and modified by a master modeler in Japan and will be produced on a per-order basis; if you miss the deadline for the first order - don’t fret! Kato USA will continue to take orders for future deliveries, possible thanks to the “built to order” nature of these items!
