Walthers Proto HO 85′ Budd Pine Series 10-6 Sleeper Santa Fe “Pine Mesa”

Description

Railroad Short Name: ATSF, SF

Relax in luxury aboard these WalthersProto Budd 85′ Pine Series 10-6 Sleepers, a must-have for the combined Super Chief / El Capitan and other Santa Fe streamliners! As part of the road’s sweeping plans for its postwar service, Santa Fe ordered 27 of these Budd-built cars, fitted with 10 new roomettes and six luxurious double-bedrooms. Many of these cars later served with Amtrak, and some are now privately owned. Ready for operation or display, features of this WalthersProto replica include:

• Real metal finish simulates stainless steel
• Correct GSC 41-NDO Outside Swing Hanger trucks as used in the 1960s
• Factory-installed grab irons
• Prototypically accurate window tinting
• Window gasket details as appropriate
• Sprung operating diaphragms
• Modeler-installed extended drawbars for 22″ radius curves included
• Turned metal RP-25 wheelsets and correct trucks with built-in electrical contacts
• Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers

PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24″ radius is recommended for operation.
