SHOW US YOUR SANTA FE EQUIPMENT PLEASE!!!!

I'll second that!

Popsrr:

 

Bill, do you have the passenger cars that go with this set of diesels?

 

Brian

No Ijust have the ABBA set/ It was not offered with passenger cars as far as I know. It was a DAP set 20-80006A.

Bill I remember at some point seeing Sante Fe passenger cars with a yellow stripe to go with this paint job. Perhaps a Forum member can be more specific.

 

The engines are beautiful.

Brian

I don't remember MTH making a premier set with yellow. Maybe Lionel did.The K-Line cars look pretty nice behind the Yellow bonnet.

B unit is finished. E6B numbered as 12A, but it's really an E7 yet most people won't even know the difference.

 

It started out as this Lionel E7B unit  

 

I turned it into a Santa Fe E6B #12A (even though it's still an E7)

 

This is the pair running together.

 

14L & 12A  (14L was ordered as a single unit so while #12L is in the shop, #14L is going to borrow it for it's run today)

 

Close coupled and will negotiate 072 curves

 

 

 

Now....what to do with the 15L dummy unit that was the AA pair? Guess I need to find a powered E8B.

Bill:

 

The matching passenger cars to the yellow warbonnet may have been Railking. I am sure I have seen this passenger car set.

I have the same set of DAP yellow bonnets and I don't believe there was a set of matching cars. The real ones didn't have matching cars, that paint scheme came about after Amtrak took over the passenger service.

Brian

I went to MTH web site and did a search on the railking and did not see any with yellow stripes. May have been another Mfg. I like the F-7's in Yellow

Bill, it could have been a custom paint job, but the set looked very good matched with the diesels. I agree, the K-Line passenger cars should go great with your set.

The "Big Hook" is just waiting for the call.

Brian

I bet some creative person could make a bery nice set of passenger cars with the yellow and some black think stripes on top of an aluminum set of cars.

Bill:

 

I would do this in a heartbeat if I owned this set of yellow warbonnets. If Lionel comes out with these in the future, they will be in my inventory.

Brian

They would be a very nice set to match up to the yellow bonnet's.

Beautifuly done E6's, laidoffsick.  You are a modeler.  Your personal record is awarded ten merits.

 

Popsrr, those F7 units are mighty nice models.

Thanks Tom, does that mean my "Level S" will go away now? 

Here's mine.

WONDERFUL Collection of Santa Fe Power. Thanks for sharing!!!

I have gone back to 1952 on the model railroad.  Don't worry about your level S.  There is no such thing in 1952.  I use the Brown system (accumulating 60 brownies subjects you to dismissal).  Merits are given for extraordinary performance.  They will cancel a like number of demerits.

 

Your record is clean and you can hold onto those merits for future use, if ever needed.  How's that for a good deal.

A-men.  And the headlight and Mars light on the 19L are outstanding!

My popular 1955 1535 warbonnet freight set and my much rarer 1957 2288 companion set. Both with extra car.

 

 

 

zhyachts:  Can you elaborate more on the "2288 Companion set", as I have never really heard of it before?  Dennis M.

 

Here are some more:

 

 

 

 

These is my 2333 rubber stamped set from 1948.  A lucky find in an old basement.

Very nice pictures of your beautiful layout. Love your Santa Fe equipment. Thanks for sharing.

There are many sets I wanted that Lionel never made. So I just make them myself with an appropriate number. Out of 200 sets on the wall 11 are pure Kimley fantasy.

 

Congratulations on spotting my "Lionel" 2288 SF freight set with a properly painted freight engine.

 

 

 

Hello zhyachts.........

 

I really love that blue and yellow S.F F-3 A&B units, did you paint them yourself ?

They really look good.

Bill very nice Santa Fe Display.

Tiffany Back in the 70's I had several A-B-B-A Lionel shell sets and 5 car 15" Williams stream liners painted in than unavailable color schemes by Chuck Brown at the Western Depot in Yuba City, Ca. He did great work. I run an A & B of each set re-powered with William's frames and motors and display the other pieces on the wall.

Hello zhyachts....

 

My goodness, you have a very nice fleet of F-3's   I wondered how much will it cost to do a paint job like the blue and yellow Santa Fe's ?  I like your idea of using the Williams chassis as someday I would like to own a set of F-3's A&B both powered blue/yellow S.F.  I think the Williams F-3 pilots looked funny and the postwar lionel pilots looked better (smooth and clean curves).  I didn't realized that you're in China and the Chinese government don't mind having American model trains in their country ?
