## 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!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Silver streak n gage train set
*by J***H on February 9, 2026*

Very nice product im very satisfied

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Needs bigger radius curve
*by S***S on April 24, 2023*

Great looking train set. The Silver Streak Zephyr was a train service that operated in the American Midwest and which ran from 1940 through 1959. Operated by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. This set has a few added bits to install if you want to represent Hoses. I left them off because they are small and can not really be seen. I have it on 12.5 Kato curves. It looks pretty good, but wider curves would look better. When I first got I ran it on 11 inch radius track. It did not derail, but the side of the cars really hung out in the curved sections. Paint and finish are great, and it runs smooth fast or slow. It has a Kato Knuckle Couple (non magnetic), but they connect to one another easily. I also installed the Kato 212 interior light kit. The kit is a bit hard to install. I found some Utube videos on these kits. The first Car took me a hour to figure out how the Light diffuser clicks in the roof of the cars. After that I got the other five cars done in about 5 minutes each. Comes with great packaging to store and protect the train when not in service.
