Prototype Information —

Following the very successful release of the California Zephyr, the Broadway Limited, the Coast Daylight and the Super Chief, we are now excited to bring you "El Capitan"

The Santa Fe “El Capitan” offered coach travel between Chicago and Los Angeles using hi-level coaches along with a diner and lounge, its double decker hi-level cars providing a greater passenger capacity than traditional single-level trains.  The "El Capitan" was revolutionary in that it offered excellent service and a train schedule that matched the speed of first class sleeper trains such as the "Super Chief" while remaining affordable to the every-day passenger.  In fact, in January 1958 the "El Capitan" and "Super Chief" trains were consolidated to run together, though in peak traffic times such as Chrismas or the summer months the two would still keep separate train schedules to accomodate the increased ridership.

Based off of the C&NW Bi-Level commuter cars, the "El Capitan" Hi-Level cars were the first of their kind to be used in long distance service, pioneering the concept of affordable, reliable service and providing the basis for today's modern Amtrak fleets (the Amtrak Superliners were, in fact, built off the design of the original Santa Fe Hi-Level coaches and many Santa Fe cars ran alongside Superliners in the early days of Amtrak).

Santa Fe's “El Capitan” offered coach travel between Chicago and Los Angeles. As re-equipped in 1954 with hi-level coaches, a diner and lounge, its double decker high-level cars provided a greater passenger capacity than previous trains.

Model Features —
  • Specific interior and exterior details
  • Shock absorber construction gives even traction and performance, even on the roughest track
  • Hi-level coach with a continuous lighted drumhead and red marker lights
  • All detail parts installed
  • Interior of cars can be lighted with optional installation of #11-210 Interior Light Kit
    with white LED
  • DCC friendly
  • Designed to be pulled by KATO “F-Units”
  • With (8) 20-000 straight track and (1) type C bumper)

Stock Checks:

Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.
