The Budd RPO and Baggage cars are Santa Fe prototypes. The RPO is in series 89-98 ordered in 1952 and delivered in 1954. The Baggage car is in series 3500-3554 ordered in 1952 and delivered in 1953. The cars were used primarily in general service and could upon occasion run in the Super Chief. The train that Walthers is producing is a comprimise. The 4-4-2 Sleeper is a pre war car, while the Pine series 10-6 sleeper was purchased for the first post war reequiping of the Super Chief which occured in 1947, however, the cars weren't delivered until 1950, in time for the last reequiping. The lounge, dome and diner are correct for the last reequiping of the train. The obs are PSCM and were purchased for the first requiping. ACF produced one 4-1 Sleeper Obs Vista Club in 1950. To make an accurate rendition of the 1950 Super Chief, you would need a ACF 10-6 Palm series and Budd 10-6 series sleeper, ACF and PSCM post war 4-4-2 Regal Series sleeper, ACF 82-88 series RPO and ACF 3409-3426 series Baggage and one ACF/PSCM Vista series sleeper loung obs. <br />Ch Frohe Weinachte und Gluces Nue Jahr
