Description
The Kato 106-101 CB&Q Pioneer Zephyr is an all-new N scale model of the legendary 1934 Burlington Route streamliner, the stainless steel trainset that helped launch the diesel era of American passenger rail. Kato models the Zephyr as it is displayed today at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.
The 3-car articulated set includes the RPO power car, the baggage/buffet coach, and the observation car. Brand-new tooling captures the Budd-built fluted stainless steel shell, and the mechanism is designed for smooth, reliable running on Kato UNITRACK or other N scale layouts.

About the Pioneer Zephyr
Built by the Budd Company for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, the Pioneer Zephyr made a record non-stop dash from Denver to Chicago on May 26, 1934, covering 1,015 miles in about 13 hours. Its lightweight stainless steel construction and diesel power changed passenger railroading, and it became the first of nine Burlington Zephyrs. Retired in 1960, it now lives at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.
