Now available for sale is a gorgeous set of 2353 Santa Fe F3 AA diesels from the mid-1950's along with their original boxes and inserts. These Santa Fe locomotives are decorated with the popular war-bonnet Santa Fe paint scheme most modelers and collectors enjoy seeing on their layout or in a display case. Both units have a vibrant and clean silver exterior, nice red and yellow accents plus crisp side lettering and graphics. Additionally, the shells are complete, not damaged nor cracked and the front decals look great.
Each locomotive has been thoroughly cleaned, serviced, tested and operate perfectly. The e-unit cycles correctly, the horn is functional, the interior lights work properly and both sets of magne-traction trucks are clean and complete. Additionally, the interior of each diesel is as clean as the exterior. Lastly, there is no rust nor oxidation on either locomotive.
Finally, each diesel is its original box and insert. The power unit box and insert are complete, solid and in great condition. The power unit box has all interior and exterior flaps and graded at an 8+. The trailer unit box and insert have not held up as well, as there is tape on the interior of several flaps, the insert is missing a couple of the small fold-over flaps and the exterior has some discoloration. However, the trailer unit box is still respectable, displays nicely and graded at a 6 to 6+.
