Description

From the Manufacturer To call the "Silver Streak Zephyr" famous before its time would be to do the all-corrugated, slick stainless steel train a disservice. Named after a movie of the same name which featured the CB&Q's distinctive corrugated equipment, the "Silver Streak Zephyr" and its specially built EMD E5A unit "Silver Bullet" was a short distance luxury train that operated between Lincoln, Nebraska and Kansas City with stops in Omaha and St. Joseph. This Bookcase style set accurately depicts the original "Silver Streak Zephyr" in all its glory, including: EMD E5A 9909 "Silver Bullet", Baggage/RPO 1600 "Silver Sheen", Baggage 900 "Silver Light", Coaches 4703 "Silver Gleam" and 4704 "Silver Glow" and Budd Observation 300 "Silver Spirit".

    • It's a pleasure just to watch it running
This is a beautiful looking train set and is well made. Kato did a good job with all of the details and it works flawlessly. It's a pleasure just to watch it running. The train set was sold by Modellbahn Ott Hobbies. They did an excellent job delivering it quickly and it was well packaged.

    • Fantastic!
I've been out of the hobby for about 35 years, but decided to get back in to it. But boy, a lot of things have changed during that time. Nonetheless, I decided to get this set as a jumping off point. When it arrived, I was impressed by the packaging - a nice little "book" to store everything in when not in use. A big step up from what most other trains are boxed in! Upon opening it up, I was stunned by how beautiful everything looked! The level of detail in something this small is amazing! These are true scale models and not toys! Once my track was set up, running this set was pure joy! I had no problems whatsoever. It ran smoothly and relatively quiet. Again, I was captivated by how great everything looked while rolling down the track. If this set is any indication, then one of the big improvements in the last 35 years is the level of precision and detail in the models now. I dont remember much from back then ( even in the larger scales) that would match the realism of this set. A lot of reviews rave about the quality of Kato trains and I can see why! They knocked this one out of the park!! ... show more

Review Image by Steve Hughes
Great looking train set. The Silver Streak Zephyr was a train service that operated in the American Midwest and which ran from 1940 through 1959. Operated by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. This set has a few added bits to install if you want to represent Hoses. I left them off because they are small and can not really be seen. I have it on 12.5 Kato curves. It looks pretty good, but wider curves would look better. When I first got I ran it on 11 inch radius track. It did not derail, but the side of the cars really hung out in the curved sections. Paint and finish are great, and it runs smooth fast or slow. It has a Kato Knuckle Couple (non magnetic), but they connect to one another easily. I also installed the Kato 212 interior light kit. The kit is a bit hard to install. I found some Utube videos on these kits. The first Car took me a hour to figure out how the Light diffuser clicks in the roof of the cars. After that I got the other five cars done in about 5 minutes each. Comes with great packaging to store and protect the train when not in service. ... show more

    • Silver Streak. What can I say?
Really high quality. Lights work on the front and the back. A little hint. If the lights on the back of the train stay on even when off, throw it in reverse and give the throttle a small tad of power. They will go off. Then the throttle can be in the off position. Love the train!

    • Wonderful
Received today and set up. It’s a wonderful model, I could sit and watch for hours. Also ordered extra track and a lighting kit. The extra track is great, adds to the length of the run.waiting for the light kit. The little details make the kit really look so beautiful. Kato is truly the go-to company from beginners to experts. You may pay a little more, but the quality is worth it. This silver zephyr set is just beautiful from front to back. The details are wonderful. ... show more

    • Wow! Wow!
Smooth running, high quality finish, comes in attractive folio case, head and tail lights. The Japanese are craftsmen of high precision; this train makes all my other China stuff look like junk! Update: My train had a loose connection on the light and returned it; Amazon return was easy (dropped off UPS Store) and got replacement in a week! Wow to Amazon! ... show more
