Does anyone have a link or their own pics of Santa Fe steam? Since I will be looking at both diesel and steam for the new layout, this would be very helpful. Thanks and Happy Modeling!! John ------------------ The Santa Fe and Southwestern, Chief of the Southwest!!
John, click on the link to my homepage in the signature. Once it comes up, click on the Vollrath collection page and scroll Waaayyyy down. Beware it takes a long time to load since I put thumbnails of every photo for the benefit of Florida voters. Most of it is NYC of course, but there is a section on ATSF. It has photos of 3751, 2912, 2921, 3450 and 3462 while they were still in service. Taken by Mr. Vollrath or from his collection. A few from Stan Kistler. Elsewhere on the site are some I have taken of 3751. ------------------ http://www.pioneer.net/~fitzrr/ Member No. 508

In particular I am looking for the history of engine 3780. Any info on where I could pick up some data about it would be great!! Happy Railroading!! John ------------------ The Santa Fe and Southwestern, Chief of the Southwest!!
