| To
see the prototype for all Walthers cars, check this
link. Walthers entered the Heavyweight car
market in 2004. Several of these cars are of interest for ATSF fans, though at
present no one has produced the hallmark steam ejector air conditioning required
for those owned by ATSF. Many of line cars were common on the Grand
Canyon and other trains. | Pullman

Preliminary thoughts are that this is a MP prototype and could be useful in head-end
work. | | Santa
Fe Style Coach | Announced for April, 2006 (932-10351).
To be produced in 3 ATSF paint schemes. Air conditioned, based on 3060-3069 coaches.
They are virtually identical to the earlier 3050-3059, with the exception of the
underbody. The 3060-series had a pressurized water tank between the battery boxes,
while the 3050-series had overhead water tanks and thus no underbody tank, with
the battery boxes side-by-side in the middle. The cars have the "big"
windows, with no upper transom window. The chair cars are externally identical
to the 2950-2959 series Smokers, 3100-3109 Chair Smokers. |
