Kato USA VRE Bi-Level Coach #V818 Set

The contemporary Gallery Bi-Level cars, constructed by Nippon Sharyo, are rooted in the design principles of the original Santa Fe "El Capitan" Bi-Level concept. This earlier design proved so successful that it paved the way for the creation of other double-decker trains, including Amtrak's Superliners and the Bombardier Bi-Level cars, which are extensively utilized in commuter services.

Nowadays, you can find Gallery Bi-Level cars in service in numerous states across the United States, including Virginia and California, particularly as part of the Chicago Metra commuter network. These modern cars are characterized by fully detailed interiors, providing passengers with a comfortable and visually appealing environment.

Additionally, the cars feature smooth-rolling blackened metal wheels, integrated with an efficient electrical pickup system. This design facilitates the easy installation of optional interior lighting, enhancing the overall ambiance of the space.

Moreover, the Gallery Bi-Level cars are meticulously crafted to mirror the distinct look of the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) bi-level fleet, ensuring consistency and aesthetic harmony in commuter operations. Through these innovations, the Gallery Bi-Level cars continue to uphold the legacy of their predecessors while adapting to the modern demands of rail travel.
