I think I only have two Santa Fe cars, maybe three.
These two are spotted at Juenke precast, a work in progress.

Oh boy! I can really get into this topic.
I'll start this week with some double-headed engines. Some of these have been posted in the Coffee Shop before.
Here's a pair of SD40-2's, known as "snoot noses" with the short hoods at 116" in length to accommodate the Locotrol equipment. These are ScaleTrains products.

Next, a pair of GP38-2's. Note that these are part of a group of 11 that were acquired in the TP&W merger in 1983. They are the only Santa Fe EMD engines without dynamic brakes. These are Athearn products.

That side railing has since been re-attached to the cab!

And a couple of freight car pics:
An Accurail ACF covered grain hopper.

An Athearn Blue Box gondola with a homemade scrap load.

See you again next week.

I get the feeling Willie may have an endless supply for this one!
Nice stuff!

A little late but here it is anyway. A Santa Fe consist of diesel power pulling a long coal drag.

My only Santa Fe of significance would be this gp something, I never looked it up! Mid sixties, what were they then, gp 18, 20?
Anyway, the 5628 made thousands of loops around the piece of 4 X 8 plywood. Part of my original train acquisition.

Horn Hooks back in those days. Alot more robust!

That would be a Tyco GP20. However the # ain't good. Not that it mattered back then.

Almost forgot that today was Santa Fe Sunday, so here's my contribution. The same SD40-2 #5128 shown last week, this time passing a dilapidated barn.

A pair of SD45's from P2K, leading a container train past a couple of farms.

Jerry, I had the exact same loco as a kid and have it in my display case. I also have my brother's silver & red f3

It’s about time you show up Wille. Nice pic I like the angle you took it. Thanks for sharing

Model Railroading was simple a green Matt and a 4x8

And thinking back on it, not once did I have to clean any track!

Nice weathering look.

Curt, looking good! Looks like the fuel tanks may be different.? Have you had the F3 as long?

 

[PRR Modeler]

Jerry,

Yes, my brother and I recieved them and a train to go with them as kids, I recieved a freight set and my brother got a passenger set. That year Dad and a friend made us a layout. This is what started me in the hobby that Christmas many years ago.

A few cabooses (cabeese?) with their attached "dust monkeys" which I have on all of them.
