Flashing by at 100+mph, Metroliners symbolized American high-speed rail service for over 25 years, serving business travelers on Penn Central and later Amtrak as the fastest scheduled trains in the western hemisphere!

Now these history-making trains are back in authentic HO Scale as only Walthers can, with the all-new WalthersProto Metroliner.

Just as the prototypes broke new ground in style and technology, so do our Metroliners! Completely new from roof to rails, we've captured the unique shape of the Coach, Snack Bar Coach and Parlor Car in all-new tooling.

Each comes fully assembled with Walthers real metal stainless steel finish complimented by ultra-sharp Amfleet Phase I paint and lettering now including factory-printed car numbers too. Fine details, from a full underbody to installed grab irons, from prototypically tinted windows to sprung General Electric or Westinghouse pantographs as appropriate, are all included. Powered by the proven technology of WalthersProto locos, each car has its own high torque motor, driving a powered truck with helical gears, Standard DC version for every layout.
