SHOW US YOUR SANTA FE EQUIPMENT PLEASE!!!!

Nice Yellow Bonnets, Popsrr!

 

This E7 , after years of reliable passenger service, now with rust, sideswipes, and leaky bearings is relegated to MOW service.  Looks like the rear door came from a freight unit, too.

Popsrr - Those yellow bonnets are some of my favorites. We had a RK Scale set that were pretty but the Premiere models are superb!

c. SAM, THANK YOU!!!! I do like most all things Santa Fe, but the Yellow Bonnets are not as often seen as the Red ones and these MRH Premier set are nicely done. I have 2 "B" umits and 2 "A" Units and they do make for an impressive point on a concict.

Lionel’s Description of this Outfit…6-21786

The Santa Fe Warbonnet F3 is perhaps the most recognizable and universally loved diesel that Lionel has ever produced. From its first production run in 1948, to the introduction of its companion aluminum Speedliner cars in 1952, and to this very day, the Santa Fe F3 has captured the hearts and minds of most hobbyists.

As the year 2000 draws to its close, and so with it the first 100 years of Lionel history, we thought it fitting to offer a Santa Fe Warbonnet passenger set unlike any ever produced. From the number of cars and features never before offered, this set is sure to go down as one of the greatest in Lionel history.

    Car names and numbers never before used by Lionel

As you can see, nothing has been held back in this anniversary exclusive. Thanks for 100 years of railroad fun. Let the Santa Fe Anniversary set remind you of Lionel’s great tradition while it powers you into the next 100 years.

Is this an MTH Premier?

Lionmaster, Yes they are both MTH PREMIER. Thanks for your question.

Hello guys and gals...............

 

How about showing Santa Fe steam powered heavyweights trains for a change? The trains like the California Limited started their passenger car service back in Nov 1892 to June 1954.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Limited.  I am making a train using the 5011 and MTH heavyweights as a starting point.

Where did you find this? It is an uncataloged engine and I couldn't find it anywhere.

Alan

Sure is an impressive sight

Here are the Geeps that became an "adventure". I renumbered two of the three #1312's I got, plus I blundered into #1321.

 

 

Sorry about the blurry shot of #1315

 

This unit arrived last Thursday. Gotta get couplers for this guy.

Thank you Charlie!!!

Alan, Impressive!!  The power company must love you. Pat B.

Hi Pat..!!  Sure is good to hear from you!  How is the weather down your way?  We really got it good hear.  Spotty phone service until this morning but worst is I have not been able to get out of the driveway since late Thursday.  3" of ice and 12" of snow on top of it.  Darned I sure miss my 4 wheel drive!!

 

Alan

Very Nice leavingtracks  and looking good AGHRMatt  your track rust is spot on.

K.C.

These Santa Fe SD18's have brought 35 years of joy.

 

 

 

Tiffany I don't have any Santa Fe Heavy weights so maybe some one that does will post pictures. Thanks for your post.

Lionmaster I bought the Santa Fe steamer MTH 20-3144-1 IN DEC 07. iT WAS AN UNCATITEM BUT OTHER SIMILAR ENGINES LIKE 20-3135-1 WAS SHOWN IN THE 2004 VOL2 CAT. Mth web site did not show any dealer listing them. These are PS-2. They may have made this engine since under a new model number and maybe with PS3.

AGHRMatt,

Matt your Geeps look VERY NICE. Looks like you are adding to your stable a bit.

Quite an assortment of live stock.

Thanks for sharing your Geeps with us Matt.

Hope you continue to feel good and do what your wife and Doctor instruct you to do.

WBC, Very nice Yellow Face and Blue Santa Fe SD-18's. Thank you for sharing with us.

You're welcome. The units have TMCC installed. While there are newer GP30's and GP35's on the layout now, the SD18's still get lots of run time. Always found them to be good looking units. 

Who's E8s are those Bill?  Very pretty...

 

Here's my Lionel F3's No 18 on the bench last week for a check-out.

C. Sam the E-8's are for running our K-Line ATSF 21" Passenger cars. THANK YOU FOR ASKING.
