## Description

From the Manufacturer To call the "Silver Streak Zephyr" famous before its time would be to do the all-corrugated, slick stainless steel train a disservice. Named after a movie of the same name which featured the CB&Q's distinctive corrugated equipment, the "Silver Streak Zephyr" and its specially built EMD E5A unit "Silver Bullet" was a short distance luxury train that operated between Lincoln, Nebraska and Kansas City with stops in Omaha and St. Joseph. This Bookcase style set accurately depicts the original "Silver Streak Zephyr" in all its glory, including: EMD E5A #9909 "Silver Bullet", Baggage/RPO #1600 "Silver Sheen", Baggage #900 "Silver Light", Coaches #4703 "Silver Gleam" and #4704 "Silver Glow" and Budd Observation #300 "Silver Spirit".

Review: Fantastic! - I've been out of the hobby for about 35 years, but decided to get back in to it. But boy, a lot of things have changed during that time. Nonetheless, I decided to get this set as a jumping off point. When it arrived, I was impressed by the packaging - a nice little "book" to store everything in when not in use. A big step up from what most other trains are boxed in! Upon opening it up, I was stunned by how beautiful everything looked! The level of detail in something this small is amazing! These are true scale models and not toys! Once my track was set up, running this set was pure joy! I had no problems whatsoever. It ran smoothly and relatively quiet. Again, I was captivated by how great everything looked while rolling down the track. If this set is any indication, then one of the big improvements in the last 35 years is the level of precision and detail in the models now. I dont remember much from back then ( even in the larger scales) that would match the realism of this set. A lot of reviews rave about the quality of Kato trains and I can see why! They knocked this one out of the park!!
Review: Very nice equipment - Works perfectly. Lights on the engine and last car. Very attractive train.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice equipment
*by T***N on February 23, 2025*

Works perfectly. Lights on the engine and last car. Very attractive train.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Silver Streak. What can I say?
*by P***R on August 2, 2025*

Really high quality. Lights work on the front and the back. A little hint. If the lights on the back of the train stay on even when off, throw it in reverse and give the throttle a small tad of power. They will go off. Then the throttle can be in the off position. Love the train!
