Designed and built to increase seating capacity aboard the popular El Capitan (and later used on other Santa Fe trains in the 1960s), these cars were fitted with a low diaphragm at one end to connect to conventional cars, and a high-mounted unit at the other for use with High-Level equipment. Ready for operation or display, features of this WalthersProto replica include:
Real metal finish simulates stainless steel
Factory-installed grab irons
Prototypically accurate window tinting
Window gasket details as appropriate
Sprung operating diaphragms
Modeler-installed extended drawbars for 22" radius curves included
Turned metal RP-25 wheelsets and correct trucks with built-in electrical contacts
Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers
PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24" radius is recommended for operation.
