DESCRIPTION:
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:
- 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.
