Re-live
some great moments in history in miniature with Kato’s
“El Capitan” which was usually pulled by an F7A-B-B-A
combination with our models time period during the last
half of the 1950’s. 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. We selected the most
popular time period of 1956 – 1958 when this train was
operated and promoted and advertised by the AT&SF
RR as its premier all coach hi-level train between Chicago
and Los Angeles with a transition car and step down cars
and operating tail lights and a drumhead on the rear of
one of the 68 seat coach cars. In January 1958, the “El
Capitan” and “Super Chief” were consolidated but during
the high traffic periods (Christmas and summer months),
the “El Capitan” ran separate from the “Super chief”.
You also have the opportunity to operate this “El Capitan”
along with the Kato “Super Chief” with all the correct
cars. The train can also be operated with 5 locomotives
as F7A-A-B-B-A.
