Santa Fe F7 on the Super Chief Chicago-Los Angeles circa 1950-1954 Vol. 1

This is my Märklin HO EMD F7 Santa Fe A-B-B-B-A Unit made out of metal, pulling the Super Chief. All passenger cars are made out of aluminium. Interior lighting is installed in all cars exept the 2 baggage cars, but it´s turned off in the video. The cars are no prototypical Super Chief cars, for example the dome car and the dining car were originally California Zephyr cars, restyled into Santa Fe cars by myself. You can see 2 coaches in that train, which of course was not the case on the real Super Chief. The only reason for 2 coaches being on my Märklin Super Chief is the fact that by the time I started buying these cars I didn´t know that the Super Chief was an all sleeper train. Now I know it, but I still decided to keep these 2 coaches on the train, since I don´t want to miss them and I think they look good. Instead of a RPO I have a second baggage car. The baggage barber shop buffet lounge and dormitory lounge cars are also missing on my Super Chief, because Märklin never produced these 2 car types (as well as the RPO), so my Super Chief has only 11 cars instead of 13.
Here is the consist:
1. Baggage 3514
2. Baggage 3534
3. Coach 2862
4. Coach 2818
5. 10-6 Sleeper Pine Bluff
6. Pleasure Dome Lounge Plaza Santa Fe
7. Diner 606
8. 10-6 Sleeper Pine Shore
9. 10-6 Sleeper Pine Beach
10. 10-6 Sleeper Pine Island
11. Sleeper Lounge Observation Navajo

don't feel bad about the coaches- I have an "O" scale Super Chief & El Capitan and K-Line gave me a coach for the Chief, and Lionel a Sleeper for the El Capitan!! Gutted the sleeper and converted to coach on the El Cap, but kept the coach on the Super Chief. LoL!!

[GeileSexyZeiten]

@Peter43John I don´t feel bad about anything, but what has your O scale Lionel/K-Line stuff to with this Märklin HO scale train? I don´t really get it...

[KB9813]

i go for the canadina pacific

[GeileSexyZeiten]

@KB9813 Will you buy the new Canadian by RapidoTrains? If you do, please post a video of it. I myself would like to have it, but my curves are too tight for those cars...

[KB9813]

@GeileSexyZeiten no i dont do that train but i have got a bachmenn 4-4-0 DCC & sound

[GeileSexyZeiten]

@KB9813 ok. sounds nice. i also would like to have a 4-4-0 with DCC and sound, complete with a really nice looking open platform car passenger train from the 1870´s. but when it comes to steam locomotives they must have smoke. and as far as i know there ain´t no 4-4-0 in ho scale that features smoke yet. hope this will happen one day in future...

@GeileSexyZeiten ... (Peter43John was just referring to you, the fact that sometimes you cant always get the correct rolling stock and such, so you just have to improvise a little no matter what scale or make you run. He was actually giving you a good comment.

[KB9813]

@GeileSexyZeiten well my 4-4-0 was from the 1920s and i got it in CPR the shop that i got it `from did it
