Here is the builders photo that was used to model this car. It was stripped off my last text. Charlie Slater

And wouldn't a Santa Fe auto box of that era have a massive fishbelly underframe? Could it be scratch built or kit bashed? The underframe appears to be Athearn, with the snap on coupler covers. The ends look like the old stamped metal ones. The hat section framing and sides look like wood shapes and sheets. I remember the wrap around metal roof ribs, too.

I can't seem to get ebay to show me closed auctions anymore. Is this normal?

Feebay just sold a HO wooden kit (built) that seems to be a fair copy of an Fe-U. Who made this, I'd like to get a couple. Thanks, Bill Woelfel
