Bachmann HO 01206 Amtrak Acela II Train Set

Launched in 1999, the Amtrak Acela made history as the first high-speed train service in North America, running between Washington D.C., New York City, and Boston at speeds upwards of 150MPH. Now, just over 20 years later, the Acela service continues to push the envelope for speed and modernity in the Northeast with the introduction of a new generation of hi-tech trains from Alstom. Based on the latest in high-speed technology, the new Acela will provide a substantial increase in both the speed and capacity on this popular intercity route. The Bachmann Amtrak Acela II Train Set features two locomotives (one powered, one non-powered), ready-to-run with analog control and speaker-equipped for upgrading to sound and DCC, a First Class passenger car, Cafe Car, and a Business Class passenger car. Also included is an 81" x 45" oval of snap-fit nickel silver E-Z Track with concrete ties, power pack and speed controller, and illustrated instructions.
