Santa Fe SF 85′ Budd Hi-Level Dinner **HO Scale – Walthers

Serve up something special for your combined Super Chief / El Capitan with this WalthersProto replica of the 85′ Budd Hi-Level Diner! With the kitchen facilities on the lower level, up to 80 guests (more than twice the capacity of a standard diner) were able to “dine penthouse-style” in the upper seating area. Tipping the scales at a massive 97 tons, the cars rode on heavy-duty six-wheel trucks. Ready for operation or display, features of this WalthersProto replica include:

• Real metal finish simulates stainless steel
• 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
• Santa Fe (Real Metal Finish, Includes Decals)

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.

Arriving in the summer of 1956 for El Capitan service, these WalthersProto replicas are based on the six Budd prototypes and come with decals for all cars from 650 to 655.
