Looks great Brian - excellent photo's too.
Did you know you can use photo's from your photobucket site here just by pasting in the img tag code next to them?
Or there's a clickable thumbnail version...

No probs Brian, just trying to spread the message.
Pics from external sites like that don't affect our server load, it goes on Photobucket's - but if you'll be deleting them that's an issue as eventually you'll have threads with the dreaded 'red Xs'

Just a question,
Did the Santa Fe operate a passenger train as short as the one shown, with an F unit pair (A and B) and only two coaches in local service?
Just curious, I totally understand if it is this short for space reasons on your layout, but I've seen pics of an SP E unit with one pax car in tow on a branchline duty, far from the glamorous trains it would once have pulled. I was curious if the Santa Fe F units ended up in a similar situation?
Yes Warbonnet is really pretty indeed

Could run the whole thing with a couple of 1950 consuls or alternatly a couple of black ansd asilve geep 9s or blue and yellwo GP 30/35 or SD 24. However I run just about every class of ATSF steam bar a 2-10-4.
Critical note: (to be ignored if you simply like the loco) No RS1's in Kansas. Add a second coach to your passenger train and use a single E6 or 7 as alternate power. Quite a bit of Kansas looks like the Cotswolds (so my man in Topeka tells me) ! Finally don't weather ATSF stuff too much. The Santa Fe kept 'em pretty clean.
RAW
Verde Valley railway? I visited that line (and taken a ride on it) in 1995, as a tourist train. A fun day , still have the small book I bought about the line somewhere.
