The next big thing is here! Wrapped in a specially decorated and printed bookcase style package, the "Silver Streak Zephyr" will be a complete classic named train in a single box, containing both the E5A locomotive "Silver Bullet" (complete with prototypical skirted trucks) and the five-car consist that made up this CB&Q streamlined and corrugated train. Also releasing this October, for modelers looking to supplement their fleet of locomotives for pulling the "California Zephyr", Kato USA will be releasing additional individual E5 locomotives, without the distinctive skirting that would have been present when they were first built, making them appropriate for pulling later era CB&Q trains! EMD E5A #9909 "Silver Bullet" was built specially for service with the Silver Streak Zephyr and was fitted with Skirts on the trucks and a covered cowl to emphasize the sleek, streamlined look of the locomotive and train. The individual EMD E5A locomotive releases will have different printing patterns on the nose to reflect the "general use" versions of the CB&Q E5A locomotive, as well as have un-skirted trucks that reflect the locomotive's later appearance when they would have been used to pull trains such as the California Zephyr. Includes: EMD E5A #9909 "Silver Bullet" Budd Baggage/RPO #1600 "Silver Sheen" Budd Baggage Car #900 "Silver Light" Budd Coach #4703 "Silver Gleam" Budd Coach #4704 "Silver Glow" Budd Observation #300 "Silver Spirit" Specially designed bookcase packaging that holds all 6 locomotives and cars with additional room for an extra 2 E5 locomotives
