I have not been able to find a floorplan for the AT&SF Budd business cars. Any help would be appreciated.
Send me an email (SouthwestChief@gmail.com). I have the Budd book for Santa Fe cars and the Santa Fe, and Topeka are in there. I’ll scan you the images, I just need the email you’d like them sent to.
Nice model, obviously brass…but who makes it, and more specifically is it the Santa Fe or Topeka?
It is a Coach Yard car and is the Topeka. I also have a reservation in for one of the Superintendent shorties they are releasing around April. Coach Yard cars are about as good as it gets!!
Southwest. Good to know you’re helping CSmith out.
CSmith, that car is gorgeous! Let us know what you decide and what products you’re going to use for the interior. Just a suggestion…don’t go overboard since there is only so much you can see from the outside.
Have you decided what you’re going to do about interior lighting?
I don’t know about lighting yet, but I am always open for suggestions. I at least want to get rid of that “see through” look. I am using tinted glazing, so that should help somewhat. I found some tinted glazing online that you print out on overhead projector sheets made for computer printers. I hope it is not too flimsy, but I guess I will find out soon!!
Thanks for everybody’s help and input!!
