This model is of the 70' baggage and is fashioned after the car that appears in the Santa Fe Car and Locomotive Plans book of 1948, 1953.

Santa Fe cars 1710 - 1839 look basically the same with the major differences being in the number of tool boxes and number of clerestory windows. The cars were rebuilt as needed and many windows were plated over. For total accuracy one should secure photos of the car he desires to model.

The Lambert underbody is factitious. The only thing really missing on these cars are the steps under the doors, and one should be very careful not to use steps that will interfere with the trucks turning adequately for his track radius. 6-wheel trucks were standard on these cars. In the 60s, most of these cars were converted to MOW service.

Andy Sperandeo has taken the model and detailed it. It is shown below compared with a Pecos River Brass model of the same car.
