) has
scheduled a re-run of
its esteemed SFRD
steel reefers for
release in January/
February of next year.
In addition to the
Super Chief car shown
here, additional cars
with a straight system
map on the reverse
side will be available for “The Scout” and “The Chief West.”
Cars backed by the “Ship And Travel” slogan on the reverse
side will be “El Capitan,” “Grand Canyon,” “Texas Chief,” and an
alternate version of “The Super Chief.” The deep steel center
sill is a reminder that the reefers began life as wood-bodied
cars based on a USRA design. Santa Fe’s Wichita Shop rebuilt
them with steel bodies in the early 1940s. Among the many
features of this prototypically accurate model are the ASF self-
aligning, spring-plankless trucks with double-truss sideframes.
The HO scale ready-to-run cars will have an MSRP of $36.95.
