Update on my MTH PS1 Santa Fe F3 set.

Painted and installed more detailed pilots, added windshield wipers, some paint detail on the wipers, painted the horns and added fire cracker antennas to the A units.

I also picked up the powered B unit and a dummy B unit  to fill out the set

                                                      ******************

My MTH F7 set simply received fire cracker antennas on the A units. I am looking for the second B unit MTH produced to go with this set…20-20264-3…tough to find…

This Sunday Santa Fe H10-44 507 leads a short local freight West.

Happy Santa Fe Sunday all!

Great photo !

This Sunday 4-8-4 #3759 leads train #24, the eastbound Grand Canyon.

Hi Loper is shipping his cattle from the Texas panhandle up to the Flint hills of Kansas. AT&SF provides a drover caboose to allow him to accompany the shipment. His cowboy, Slim Chance is going on the trip, as well. Slim is pulling on his boots (which were to be kept outside the car) while Loper takes in some fresh air.  Upon arrival in Kansas, Loper tells Slim to be careful around these rail cars and don’t walk too close to the sides of the cattle cars. Quote: “if you get too close and ‘something’ splashes on your teeth…just keep grinning!”

Rob, is this car custom made?

This is an Ajin model I was able to buy at a LOW price because it was utterly destroyed. I had to trash its underframe and substitute a hi-rail underframe. The trucks were “frankensteined” together with Atlas wheelsets and modified K-Line fixed couplers.  The finished product is still a total mess, yet it looks exactly like something cowboys got there hands on.

Ron, F3 or F7, what make is this engine and is it blue or black?

Thanks.

Frank these locos are Santa Fe freight blue. I got these a long time ago and don't know what brand they are. No ID on them, I just checked. Maybe 3rd rail. I added the lift lugs on the snout of the A unit. I believe they are F7s, but I could be wrong. They are favorites of mine.

Passenger unit 90B has pulled into the service track at Caprock, Texas, on this very date in 1952.  An Electrician is standing by with a megger, to trace the source of a persistent low voltage ground fault.

Santa Fe boxcar load of lumber for Harry's Hardware & Building Supply Co. Circa 1955.

Good morning SFSun fans, I normally don't have much to post on this thread, but I did find something today.  Its my Lionel Santa Fe #212 Alco AA mated up with a Lionel #218 Santa Fe Alco B unit.  These are all from the middle 60's  (1964-1966).  In the video she pulls a string of 2400 series red-stripe small streamlined passenger cars from 1956.

Happy Sunday everyone.  Best Wishes for a happy and healthy upcoming week.

Here's a bunch of Warbonnet this Santa Fe Sunday!

Larry, glad you like the WarBonnet trio! The F3 AA set are Lionel from 2004 catalog, and believe it or not, the box car is a Menards with Lionel trucks. :-)

I like your Santa Fe collection of photos! The crane hoisting a paperclip and fishing weight is interesting. I really like the ATSF silver box car, very nicely detailed and the silver is cool! Question, is the ATSF 314000 Hopper all metal? I have a Lionel BNSF that looks a lot like that one and it's all metal. Nice Santa Fe Dome Car too!

Happy Santa Fe Sunday!

Larry - thank you for your compliment.  Hey...I just finished registration for the TCA convention in Nashville and I signed up for the tour of your layout.  So here's hoping we might get to meet in person.  Best Wishes

Makes me want to pull my Warbonnets out of the siding for some action and let the steamers rest for awhile.

Nice Scott

Cooking a few dogs at the "Charles Street Yard...!"  After lunch, there's a straight load of 6 x8 creosote ties to be unloaded that will be used in the railroad tie replacement project about to begin...

Hi Larry, nice pictures! Very cool ATSF caboose, both you and Paul! I recognize that UP flatbed bulkhead car with pipe load amongst ATSF. Great stuff! 😁

Paul, great photo! The guy on the right looks like he may have had too many hotdogs and brews!

👍

Here's a freight train run-by with a SF GP30 on the point. My first video ever on the OGR. 😳

Vern - Great train, great lay out and great video.  Super job for the first time (or any time for that matter).  Thanks for posting.

Thank you, Don. Thanks to WesternPacific Scott’s encouragement, I finally tried a video and it worked!

And thank you, Scott.

I appreciate the compliments. 🙏

Last night I forgot today was Sunday, so I removed Santa Fe from the layout for WP. Oh darn! So, here's a photo repost from a winter morning sunshine on Warbonnet F3's and a LOTS Warbonnet caboose in Paradise, CA.

For Santa Fe Sunday I present my F3's complete with ERR upgrades with an AC commander and sound, and all LED lighting. Still some odds and ends to do but they are basically done and can be run.

@Yellowstone Special- great run by video Vern.

Bob

Oh yeah, I posted this new Santa Fe video in "Freight trains - Let's see them!" yesterday, here's a link to the thread.

Thank you, Bob. I like your Santa Fe freight F3s. 👍

A straight load of 6 x 8 Creosote RR ties just arrived at the Charles Street Yard to replenish the inventory needed for the tie replacement project...

This Sunday finds train number 17, The Super Chief, heading west towards Los Angeles.
