Super detailed Santa Fe E6 converting to 2 rail wheels with narrowed side frames: FINISHED !

Ron HOGR Forum Member

Year or so ago I acquired two Lionel Milwaukee E6s and re-shelled them for the Santa Fe. I lowered them and super detailed the trucks and fixed the pilots then weathered them for the early 50s.

Love the sound of these and the detail, but I want to go a step further.

However, because of the big and thisk pie plate 3 rail wheels the truck side frames are just too wide under the body.

So, I've ordered scale wheels from Jay Crisswell which will allow me to reduce this width to more scale dimensions.

Also going to add sunshades, wind screens and other detail on the car bodies.

So,,, if you like, stay tuned. I think these will be stunning, at least, I hope so.
