Southern Pacific Three-Pack

Southern Pacific Two-Pack
 Starting in 1917, the Southern Pacific Railroad built over 620 class C-30-1 wood cabooses with slat side cupolas, making it the largest class of cabooses on the railroad. Many received replacement straight side cupolas in later years. This lettering scheme was applied from 1931-1946 and lasted into the 1950s. proto.nscale@yahoo.com

 Santa Fe bought 100 tankcars from General American Transportation Corporation in 1930. These tankcars lasted into the 1970’s with black paint and into the 1980’s in maintenance of way service. In the late 1950’s Santa Fe started painting many of these cars in Maintenance of Way White and used them in domestic water service. The one hundred cars were numbered 100800 through 100899.

Pacific Fruit Express
 In 1946, Pacific Fruit Express adopted a new paint scheme for their reefer fleet. It was decided to place both the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific heralds on both sides of the car.

They can also be purchased individually for $46.95. Postpaid in the U.S. ($5.00 S&H; $10 for non-US orders).
