Here Comes Walthers Next Hot-Selling Name Train!

If you thought Walthers plated Santa Fe Super Chief went fast, wait 'til you see the all-new El Capitan'. Starting in October, Walthers is rolling out the complete consist in both standard and limited-run Deluxe Edition versions of the famous coach streamliner.

Based on the 1956 consist with its unique Hi-Level cars, the new HO Scale El Capitan has built-in appeal — and these cars can also be run with Walthers Super Chief, just as the Santa Fe did after 1958!

Walthers El Capitan is complete with all the cars used on the prototype, including Baggage Car, Railway Post Office, Baggage-Dormitory "transition car" with rooftop shroud, Hi-Level 68-Seat Step-Down Coach, Hi-Level 72-Seat Coach, Hi-Level "Sky Lounge," Hi-Level Diner, and Hi-Level 68-Seat Step-Down Coach with Tail Sign to bring up the rear. (A note to customers, Walthers is doing this Deluxe Set as a 9 car set, if you want additional 72 Seat Coaches you will have to order additional regular cars, Walthers is only making this Limited Deluxe set as is).

Each comes fully assembled with Walthers real metal "stainless steel" finish, factory-installed grab irons, prototypically tinted windows, correct trucks and much more.

Customers who reserve all nine First Edition cars by August 30, 2011 receive an El Capitan Travel Poster Print, Brochure Replica and Enamel Conquistador Pin - this exclusive package is available only to those who purchase the complete set and will ship with your final car! Make sure you add the "Bonus Pack" to your cart when you check out.

Walthers is also rolling out this Deluxe Edition El Capitan Train for the most demanding collector and modeler that includes three standard head-end cars, plus six Hi-Level Cars with:

• Factory-Installed LED Interior Lighting
• Factory-Installed Preiser Passengers - Over 175 Figures Total!
• Step-Down Coach with Lighted Drumhead Tail Sign
• Numbered Certificate of Authenticity
• Cars will be shipped with random numbers; sorry matching number sets not available

In addition to these extra features, a $58.00 value in materials alone, Deluxe Edition cars have added sales appeal because they're ready to enjoy with no additional work required!

Sold only as a complete nine-car consist, each Deluxe Hi-Level is priced at $125.00 suggested retail and will not be available from open stock; standard cars are priced as noted. To model a typical El Capitan train, sets include two 72-Seat Hi-Level Coaches, plus one each of all other El Capitan cars. Deluxe Edition cars with unique item numbers will ship the same month as standard models.

Production will be strictly limited to 350 sets. Due to the limited quanities, we are unable to give discounts on this special item.

Walthers has also decided to produce new PROTO 2000 37-Class F7s which are perfect for El Capitan and the Super Chief. Finished in Santa Fe's classic Passenger Warbonnet scheme and highlighted by a plated metal finish, choose Sound and DCC versions with full-function Tsunami decoders, or Standard DC models, each with multiple unit numbers, to meet your needs.

Based on unprecedented sales Walthers had of the plated Super Chief, we expect the El Capitan to sell out very soon after arrival. In fact we talked to Walthers this morning and they were already 50% sold out (Pre-orders) by Dealers. Remember by ordering now prevents missed opportunity and disappointment, and it qualifies you to get the added extras (El Capitan Travel Poster Print, Brochure Replica and Enamel Conquistador Pin).

All standard versions of the cars and locos will be open stock (You will be able to create what ever consist you want) - but please don't wait to order as we expect the El Capitan will sell-out quickly!
