MPI MP36PH Chicago Metra Gallery Bi-Level 4-Unit Set Model Train Products by Kato USA

The Motive Power International MP36PH, used by various cities across the country for commuter service, with their distinctive and colorful paint schemes, serves as the "figureheads" for local commuter service. The modern Nippon Sharyo-built Gallery Bi-Level is based on the same concept as the original Santa Fe "El Capitan" Bi-level design, which inspired double decker cars such as Amtrak's Superliners and the Bombardier Bi-Level cars used in commuter service. Gallery Bi-Level cars, like those used by Chicago Metra commuter service, can be seen operating in several states across the United States, including Virginia and California.

This 4 car set is part of Kato's "Starter Series" and includes a locomotive and three passenger cars in an attractive package. The set contains the MPI MP36PH Chicago Metra Locomotive #416, Nippon-Sharyo Gallery Bi-Level Metra Coaches #6070 and #6153, and Nippon-Sharyo Gallery Bi-Level Metra Cab-Coach #8507. The elegant, collector-friendly hanger style packaging contains an operating Kato locomotive and cars (just add track). The locomotive has directional head and tail lights in the nose to accurately display the correct lighting pattern whether pushing or pulling. The Cab-Coach also has directional head and tail lights to accurately display the correct lighting pattern whether pushing or pulling. Additionally, the cars have smooth rolling blackened metal wheels and electrical pickup to allow easy installation of optional interior lighting. This set is officially licensed by Chicago Metra.
