Does anyone know if there is a dummy car and maybe an extention pack that would would with this train? I’ve been out of the train world for a long time, but just recently pulled out my old trains from my parent’s house, so I’m getting the bug again!
There is a dummy B unit available for $80.00. I passed. No extension pack offered. I was disappointed by that. I would have bought a 3-car set (containing at least 1 vista dome), but none were offered. The exact same type cars are offered as either a 4-pack (1 observation included) or a 2 pack, but they aren’t Santa Fe. They have California Zephyr on the sides. None of them is due out until September.
My El Capitan’s locomotive has a reversing problem. It won’t cycle propery. It also jack-rabbits on start up. Doesn’t pull away smoothly and slowly. I contacted Davis Trains in Cincinnati and they told me it’s a common problem with the El Capitan sets. A new reverse board is the required fix.

Thanks for the info. Just when I think I found something to buy… Oh well… I’m still going after the Sante Fe Southwest diesel freight and extention pack from the new catalog.
What about from an alternate source, colors mite not be an exact match but possibly close enough.
