Stewart's Santa Fe passenger F7 is beautifully painted
and most modelers will likely be content to run them as is with
only the addition of Kadee couplers and a road number. Their details
make them correct for units 326LAB through 33LAB as delivered.

F7 number 40 leads the westbound Fast
Mail out of San Bernardino in 1950. This excellent roof view shows
the 36" D/B fan and several good steam generator details. Note the
late version of the Mars light. - John McCall Collection

At Fort Worth in the late 1960's 37C has just arrived
from Brownwood with train 78 and awaits arrival of the Texas Chief.
At this late date in her career, 37C has received lifting lugs on
her nose, an assortment of grab irons and swapped her as built horizontal-slit
grilles for vertical-slit grilles. - John McCall

F7A number 44 leads an A-B-B-A lashup over Raton
Pass with El Capitan in June 1954. Sharp eyed modelers will note
the 48" D/B fan on the lead unit. 44 has also received the new Leslie
S5-T five chimer. -John McCall Collection.
