This listing is for both the A and B unit drawings shown in
the photographs.
Around 20 years ago I was fortunate enough to purchase these
drawings from a person who saved them from being tossed after Santa Fe
Industries vacated one of their offices. The actual original drawings were
created by Santa Fe back in 1952 and were then carefully reproduced in limited
quantities to be hung in some of their offices.
Note that these are archive quality prints, most likely produced
on an offset printing press. Each print
was personally inspected, and it appears that around 20 of each were made (if I
interpreted the codes correctly). I’ve never seen another set offered for sale.
I took a couple of drafting classes back in the 1960’s and I
remember specifically the instructor harping on the necessity of equal line
weight. Whoever Mr. Hale was, he certainly learned that lesson. His drafting
skills were impeccable.
These have never been displayed since leaving the Santa Fe
offices.
I have also listed the FT locomotive set.
I will ship these USPS with full insurance.
