Title: Bachmann 85ft.Full Dome Passenger Car -What Era in use by Santa Fe
Post by: Sunshine Express on November 18, 2015, 12:34:21 AM
I have bought a Bachmann Model 13002 Silver Series 85ft.Full Dome passenger car of the AT&SF..
Could the members assist with what years this car would have been in service with the Santa Fe Railway please?.

These cars were built by Budd and delivered in 1954.  They were used by the Santa Fe until the start of AMTRAK in 1971, and by AMTRAK for several years thereafter.

You model about the same time period I do: mid 1950's to mid 1960's.  Passenger operations in Denver in N scale.  I have one of these cars painted for Santa Fe, and one painted for Milwaukee Road (used in UP City of Denver/Portland).  The Milwaukee Road car should be a smooth-side Pullman Standard car with larger windows, but I used what I could get (modeler's license, sometimes you just have to fudge a little).
