Baggage cars are a necessary part of any mid-to-long distance train as they provide room to store passenger luggage. Acquired by Amtrak in the 70's, many of Amtrak's heritage baggage cars are older than Amtrak itself - a tribute to their rugged construction and continued utility.

Modeling the shorter distance (and northeast corridor) Intercity passenger cars - the Amfleet II and Viewliner sleeper, respectively - these cars are decorated in Amtrak's most current paint scheme: the Phase VI (also known as "IVb"), which marries modern aesthetic simplicity with the traditional Amtrak red, white, and blue stripes. Pairing modern sensibility with Kato's proven track record of smooth rolling trucks and award winning performance locomotives, these sets are ideal for modern passenger modelers.

Delivery of the original Superliner 1 cars began in 1979 with the first cars operating on short runs originating in Seattle and Chicago. As more cars arrived, entire Superliner trainsets replaced trains on existing Western routes. The height of a Superliner generally precludes its operating in the Northeast because of tunnel clearance concerns. The Phase IVb is the current operating paint scheme for Amtrak passenger equipment, removing the "SUPERLINER" lettering from the sides of the cars and featuring the new Amtrak logo on the sides of the car.
