Santa
Fe "El Capitan"
Re-live some great moments in history in miniature with Kato's "El Capitan".
Usually pulled by an F7A-B-B-A lashup during the last half of the 1950's -- the
period selected by Kato to base their new set on. "The "El Capitan" offered coach
travel between Chicago and Los Angeles using hi-level coaches, a diner and lounge.
It usually had 10 cars but during the summer it increased to 12 cars.
Kato selected the most popular time period
of 1956 through 1958 when this train
was operated, promoted and advertised
by the AT&SF Railroad as its premier
all coach hi-level train between Chicago and Los Angeles with a transition
car and step-down cars with operating tail lights and a drumhead on the rear
of one of the 68 seat coach cars.
In January 1958, the "El Capitan" and the "Super Chief" were consolidated
but during the high traffic periods (Christmas and the summer months), the
"El Capitan" ran separate from the "Super Chief".
Kato's new release will give you the opportunity to operate this "El Capitan"
along with the Kato "Super Chief" (previously released) with all of the correct
cars. The combined train was frequently pulled by 5 locomotives, an F7A-A-B-B-A
lashup.
The
"El Capitan" 10 Car Passenger Set consists
of:
(1) baggage-dormitory (transition car)
(1) hi-level 68 sea coach (step-down)
(5) hi-level 72 seat coaches
(1) 80 seat diner
(1) lounge (2 bars)

Kato LED Lighting Kits are now available. Not only do the
LED's illuminate better, they are recommended
because they do not create heat.
In some cases, particularly with the use of DCC, there
have been reports of the standard lights (11204/11206)
damaging cars by melting plastic. Though more expensive,
we strongly recommend the new LED light kits
