I got a copy of this photo a couple of years ago, framed it and it's a nice shot.

It is a photo that I would call a classic from an era of transition and compromise, worthy of anyone serious about the Santa Fe's operational history

It might make an interesting background for a model diorama.

Well I see this topic is going over like a lead balloon. [:(] [:(] [:(]

I thought we had more people interested in railroad history but by the responses, or lack thereof, I guess not. [V]

FYI -- Santa Fe Roundhouse Photo

For those who are history minded you might want to check this out. It is a 4 and one half foot photo of a Santa Fe Roundhouse taken in the 1940s. The photo shows both steam and diesel engines. Pentrex has it on special for only 4.95 should you want to take advantage of it. For anyone wanting to send it to me for Christmas just email me for my addy. [;)] [:D] [:p] [;)] [:D]
