nothing like some homage to a classic in Golden Gate Depot 

There are some that say this is the way the ad should be:

Rusty

Is this better 

Santa Fe ABBA set of S scale F7s hauls the Super Chief out of the depot. The locomotives are from S Helper Service, and the passenger cars are American Models' modified with LED lighting and added passengers. 

Atlas GP60 and Dash 8-40B with LokSound L decoders...

Well that’s cool

Yes Lou, they are super detailed and lowered with fixed pilots.

My only Santa Fe motive power; a 1952 F3 AA with a Williams B unit.

I thought they might be. Eventually I'd like to pick up either some E6s or E8s and make a Chicagoan train set.

How 'bout some El Cap action.

In your Fast Mail consist, the car I enjoy the most is the "shadow lined" RPO.  Could you tell us more about it?

Is that The Grand Canyon? I'm basing that on the mix of heavyweight and lightweight cars.

The car you ask about was one of the many that were painted to better match the streamlined cars, you know that already.. Ok the model is a rare very very Santa Fe 6 window RPO from Pecos River Brass a phenomenal model, Wastach Model quality from John’s late 1980’s run. Decals were produced by Microscale. 

Robert Milner caught the Kansas Cityan with 11L and 11A at Galesburg, Illinois in September 1950 with Shadow Lined #73 the only one painted as such while Jefferson caught the Grand Canyon on the High Plains Route in March of 2017 with 11L and 11A below with Shadow Lined RPO #73 in the same position.

Great reply!

Thank you, Erik
