Reply to "Santa Fe Sunday"

Well here we are 1/2/22 the first "official" Sunday in the new year. We normally have lots of "war bonnets" but today it seems a bit sparse, so I thought I would dig out my Marx interpretation of that famous livery. This is the Mark # 1095 Santa Fe E-7 made in 1952 so now 70 years ago this new years. Along with that AA engine is a Marx Santa Fe #3152 Full Dome car from about 1958. Note the Marx characteristic full color passengers in the dome. It was always rumored that Marx used real people that he knew from his business for these pictures but not really confirmed.

Here is that famous "war bonnet" livery on the cab of the E-7 by Marx.

A sort of total length view of this little one car train. Must be late in the passenger business as there is only one car.

A front quarter view of this short train.

Here is a close up of the Marx #3152 Santa Fe full vista dome.

Well happy "Santa Fe" Sunday everyone. Best wishes

Don
