Santa Fe 3800 Class 2-10-2 "Santa Fe"-type |
 |
|
If ever there was a "workhorse" of steam, it was the Santa Fe's 3800-Series 2-10-2s. From time
freight to transfer switching to Cajon helper service, these locos were all over the Santa FE! All 141 "3800"s
were Baldwin-built between 191 and 1927. All went significant upgrades through the years. Sand domes and feedwater heaters
were added, tender sizes increased, some had disc main drivers and "I-beam" rods installed. Smoke deflectors were
added on some and stack diameter changed on others! And let's not forget the addition of "drifting" valves! Wow,
what variety!
We've elected to do a selection of extended-cab, double sand box, drifting-valve versions. I hope we've
chosen a fair variety of locomotives, representing Kansas, Colorado/Raton, Texas, Tehachapi and Cajon service. We've even
included that one lonely smokebox-mounted Elesco locomotive! The Division Point and Boo-Rim
will offer this LIMITED EDITION project. Dual-mode decoders are included. With only 120 pieces to be produced, you are well
advised to contact your dealer to reserve yours!
