Product Information:
Santa Fe (ATSF) “Quality Repaint 1992+” offers an example of ATSF cars that were repainted in the railroad’s “Quality” scheme in 1992. These models feature accurate Freightmaster End-of-Car Cushioning details, including the centering handles mechanism under the coupler. In this era, the Santa Fe cars have the “third crank arms” on each of those big plug doors, a detail we have faithfully replicated on the model.
The model is equipped with Tangent 100-Ton “Low profile” Barber S-2-A trucks, 36” wheels and “Timken” rotating caps. If you look carefully, you will notice the accurate brake beams with truck-mounted brake cylinders. This replicates the truck-mounted brake features of the prototype cars. We are offering six road numbers in this 1992 ATSF release: SKUs -01, -02, -03 have accurate February, 1992 Topeka Shops applied data, while SKUs -04, -05, -06 have a variation of Topeka data applied in August 1992, with slightly different side, end and door locations. We even changed the tack board locations to follow prototype photos. Variety is a wonderful thing for your Tangent fleet of cars. And don’t forget to check out our prototype photos on our website. We back up our Industry-leading artwork with real prototype photos!
