Every hobby begins with a single step; start off on the right foot with a Kato UNITRACK Starter Set! Each starter set comes with a complete oval of track, a Kato Power Pack, a locomotive, a re-railer, a pack of 5 passenger coaches, and an instruction book on how to assemble and care for your new Starter Set. From then on, the sky's the limit thanks to UNITRACK's modular snap-track design. Build a complex basement layout, or keep it simple so that you can take it out in evenings; anything is possible with UNITRACK!

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 special starter set includes the complete locomotive and 5-car consist of the original "Silver Streak Zephyr" train, as well as an oval of track, power pack, and starter guide.

The track plan in this set can be extended by using sections of track in the Kato N Gauge Range or by using the Variation Track Packs to create all sorts of different layout plans.
