The SPSF has commissioned a new executive fleet program to compliment our existing modern streamlined fleet.
This new fleet will be our heritage executive fleet, complete with Pullman Heavyweights and a steam locomotive (we've already selected the Santa Fe 4-8-4 #3751, which will be restored by Broadway Limited).
We are currently searching out two remanufacturers of Pullman Heavyweights:
Walthers
and Athearn
CEO Nathan Muir believes the Walthers bid is better and will produce a more accurate final product; however, their price is about twice as much as Athearn. Walthers also tells us they can get a hold of more cars for remanufacturing, hence a longer train. Does anyone have experience with heavyweights and can offer a suggested remanufacturer? Thanks for any help or insight you have!
