Description

Between 1946 and 1953, the Santa Fe Railway ordered 137 Chair Cars. These cars were added to trains like the Texas Chief, San Francisco Chief and the El Capitan allowing older cars to be retired from those trains. The Budd company supplied 45 of those cars, with the remaining 92 were built by Pullman.

Our two Santa Fe Chair Cars in this release are from those delivered from Pullman-Standard. Although none of the actual cars are 100% like our fluted Pullman Coach, we feel that the lack of Chair cars for this great railroad is sufficient reason to produce what we will call Classic versions for your enjoyment.

Car #3179 is a ‘Chair Club’ car and sports an antenna on the roof.  While road#3180 has no antenna.

These cars are all sliver, roof, trucks and under frame.

A reminder should be said, that there is only one car found like the Rd#3179. When these are gone, they are gone.

My kids absolutely love the Christmas cars! The C.K. Holiday, along with the Carolwood and Disney cars makes a wonderful Christmas train. It made many a loop under our tree this year.

I am looking forward to many more releases in the new year. I stayed up really late on Christmas to talk to Santa when he came by our house. I asked him for an n-scale SP&S 700, and he said that was out of his league and I’d better call you.

Wow… You made my dream come true with the CK Holiday! I am a great admirer of your work.

Just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity to be with you and the many other happy folks who experienced the Feather River Canyon trip.  I know you put a lot of work into making this special trip a reality and it all came together extremely well!

The thing I love about all the things you do is the fact that everything is so well thought out, so beautiful and so unique.

Ferdinand Magellan is great! This really fits your mission of offering significant cars that otherwise wouldn’t be produced.

I received my #99 business card in the mail today. It looks superb. Thank you for another wonderful job. You are really filling a niche.
