• 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.

  I appreciate your fast reply.
  
  The 6-38204 is the one I want. The decals look great as well.
