Kato 106-100 N Scale NYC 20th Century Limited 9-Car Base Train Set, 1948 Version

Kato N Scale New York Central 20th Century Limited 9-Car Base Train Set, 1948 Version

Kato Item #: 106-100

Called “The Most Famous Train in the World”, the New York Central “20th Century Limited” is one of the classic and most recognizable named trains of the 20th Century. Headed by some of the world’s most famous locomotives and connecting the great cities of New York City and Chicago, the “20th Century Limited” – along with its competitor from the Pennsylvania Rail Road the “Broadway Limited” – operated for more than 60 years.

Now, coming in late 2020, Kato USA will finally be paying homage to this classic train in N Scale, recreating the train as it appeared in 1948-1954 (a perfect era match with Kato’s N Scale “Broadway Limited”, also now available), with a sleek two-toned grey color and pair of streamlined E7A locomotives with brand new tooling for this project!

*Red Carpet Service!*
The New York Central prided itself on its “red carpet treatment” of passengers of the 20th Century, who would board the train walking across an elegant maroon carpet emblazened with the 20th Century’s logo. As a special treat, the Kato 20th Century Limited train will include a “red carpet” re-railing tool, allowing you to place your cars in similar extravagent style!
