Finished the model today. I'm curious if anyone else experienced difficulty deciding which decals to use? Or, if you had the same slogan as shown in the instructions?

That’s a really nice job especially the boot scuff marks behind the ladders. Paul Doggett. England 🏴 On 17 Mar 2023, at 22:23, Clark Propst via groups.io <cepropst@...> wrote:

Well done Clark. I have one to build but I bought the later one without the map(post map). Still my era but I don't have any post map ATSF cars. The car looks good Fenton Finished the model today. I'm curious if anyone else experienced difficulty deciding which decals to use? Or, if you had the same slogan as shown in the instructions? |

I see many atsf named train dry transfers at Clover House. I wonder if there was a pattern, such as:
El Capitan on cars ending in 1 Scout on cars ending in 2 Etc.

Not a pattern, but groups of cars in number sequence, e.g. xxx001 to xxx025 got slogan, then xxx026 to xxx050 got a different slogan.

Super work on this model, Clark! I like those chalk marks near the grabs on the left end of the car sides.

And that number sequence was not of a fixed length, but varied with the number of cars purchased of a given class. From the most recent edition of the ATSF Painting and Lettering Guide, Fe-21s were all built with the Grand Canyon slogan. We have yet to unearth the original slogan allocations for the Fe-22s, but examples of cars lettered with Scout, Grand Canyon and Chief slogans are documented. When cars were repainted, they tried to keep the same slogan, but would apply a different one if the shop didn't have the one already on the car. For those of you wishing to model a post 1947 repaint, Fe-21 7392 wore Ship and Travel with the El Capitan slogan in Jan 1972. Since that scheme was discontinued in 1959, it definitely had that applied throughout the '60s. Fe-22s 7065 and 7137 appeared in undated photos with S&T/El Capitan and Super Chief respectively. These cars would definitely be wearing the post '45 redder shade of Santa Fe Freight Car Brown, while most of the Map & slogan cars would have been in the earlier browner shade unless they were repainted in late 1945, 1946, or early in 1947 before the S&T change.

Hi Clark: I hope you are surviving all the increment weather. Should you decide to put the Santa Fe 7000 auto car on the block I would be ready, money in hand.
