Good afternoon,

I need some help please.

I'm looking for a non powered B Unit that will match my SANTA FE CHIEF FT DIESEL 6-38231. I have 2 A units both #162.

Which unit should I get? I was thinking 6-24570?

Also:

Is there a place to get decals so I can change 1 of my #162's to a different number?
Thank you for any replies.

There are 2 FT unpowered Santa Fe 'B' units I found, #6-24570 as you suggest,

and #6-38204 being a newer unit.

The older unit has an operating coupler, otherwise they seem to be identical.

Microscale makes '0' gauge decals for the Santa Fe 'E' and 'F' units.

Thanks Larry

I appreciate your fast reply.

The 6-38204 is the one I want. The decals look great as well.

If you happen to see one for sale

Thanks
