Get The Kinks Out Of Your Track Work!

On 20 December 1967 the United Aircraft TurboTrain rocketed to an amazing 170.8 MPH on the Pennsylvania Railroad in New Jersey – a feat which remains to this day the fastest speed ever achieved by a production passenger train in the United States or Canada.

Then, on 22 April 1976 a Canadian National TurboTrain travelling between Montreal and Toronto reached a speed of 140.6 MPH – a record that still stands in Canada. Now you too can run trains like a maniac with this, the first ever accurate model of the TurboTrain.

Both engines are sound-equipped, so your TurboTrain will roar at the front and the rear just like the real thing.

Just make sure the track is clear!

Amtrak ran its TurboTrains in this paint scheme in 4- and 5-car configurations.

A complete train requires one each #200004, #200401 and #200402.

Car numbers are accurate for the 5-car train and are different from the early Amtrak TurboTrain (#200003), so you can accurately run both on your layout.
