Metroliner is first All-New WalthersProto™ Release
Flashing by at 100+mph, Metroliners symbolized American high-speed rail service for over 25 years, serving legions of business travelers on Penn Central and later Amtrak as the fastest scheduled trains in the western hemisphere! Now these history-making trains are being done in authentic HO Scale as only Walthers can, with the all-new WalthersProto™Metroliner.
Completely new from roof to rails, we've captured the unique shape of the Coach, Snack Bar Coach and Parlor Car in all-new tooling. Decorated in the Amtrak Phase I paint scheme, each comes fully assembled with Walthers real metal "stainless steel" finish complimented by ultra-sharp Amtrak Phase I paint and lettering. All feature factory-printed car numbers too. Fine details, from a full underbody to installed grab irons, from prototypically tinted windows to sprung General Electric or Westinghouse pantographs as appropriate, are all included. Powered by the proven technology of WalthersProto™locomotives, each car has its own high torque motor, driving a powered truck with helical gears, and comes in Tsunami® Sound & DCC or Standard DC versions to meet every customer's needs.
Nothing moves faster than a Metroliner - and our new limited run Deluxe Edition models will be no exception! Ready for your railroad, these Pennsy models depict the original test cars delivered with Tuscan stripes and PRR Keystone herald - a scheme never used in revenue service as the Penn Central merger took place soon after. In addition to all the great features found on the standard Amtrak cars, the Deluxe Edition PRR Metroliners come with factory-installed Tsunami® Sound & DCC and factory-installed Preiser engineering team figures inside. Hurry though, these 4-car sets are a one-time production run strictly limited to 350 sets.
Only 8 sets will be available to Blue Ridge Hobbies of the Deluxe Edition PRR Metroliner set (sold only as a set of four cars, individual cars will not be available separately) for each set of four standard Metroliner units ordered. MSRP $1,199.92 Retail Value (SEE SPECIAL PRICING BELOW)
