A red and silver lightning bolt flashes across the desert floor as Santa
Fe's "Super Chief" streaks by! Offering the finest, fastest daily service
between Chicago and Los Angeles, the train was a favorite with celebrities
and the rich and powerful. Now, Santa Fe's flagship rolls once more in these
superb HO Scale models, based on cars assigned to the train in the
mid-1950s.
With all the features found on Walthers passenger cars, this collection of
authentic Santa Fe equipment features razor-sharp paint and lettering, plus
correct car name and number decals to build the complete train. Each car
also includes a complete set of add-on wire grab irons, and molded drill
starter points on the body simplify installation. Like the prototype, the
model "Super Chief" includes equipment from Budd and Pullman-Standard,
and consists of eight individual cars:
932-9001 Budd "Pine" Series 10-6 Sleeper
932-9002 Budd 73' Baggage Car
932-9003 Pullman-Standard 36-Seat Diner
932-9004 Pullman-Standard 29-Seat Dormitory-Lounge
932-9005 Pullman-Standard 4-4-2 Sleeper ("Hotevilla" Series)
932-9006 Pullman-Standard Pleasure Dome
932-9007 Budd 63' Railway Post Office
932-9008 Pullman-Standard "Vista" Series Observation-Lounge
The eight cars make a perfect layout-sized train, but additional sleepers
can easily be added to model an authentic consist.
Each Super Chief car is designed to accept Walthers Passenger Car Interior
Lighting Kits, (#933-1049 sold separately). These drop-in units come fully
assembled and include complete instructions for installation in various
types of Walthers cars. Note: The Pleasure Dome has a unique interior that
requires lighting kit #933-1083, sold separately.
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.
