The two SKUs (stock keeping units) that build the 5 cars.
SKU 10025 - Santa Fe cars set 1 (Mail, Baggage)
SKU 10022 - Santa Fe cars set 2 (Dining, Observation, Sleeping)
Hope that helps. I am going off net for a while to go see these operate on
the layout

For those of you who missed the picture of these sets:

posted by René Hoffmeister on July 2th 2002, indeed most AFOL's attending
this Keynote Speech where not as surpised as LD hoped them to be. It's on of
the things that shows what a fertile global community we are.
Greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

...and I've just found a gallery by Kevin Loch showing the the new Santa Fe
car sets acually being present on Brickfest 2002.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=21846
Can someone of the attendies please elaborate on how the base(plate) of the
Santa Fe cars have been constructed to achieve the length of 32 studs?
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Looking at dsc01309.jpg in that gallery I see 2 plates on the end, most
likely 2*6's. 2 of those on both sides would make it 32*6 with the right
height.

I have one in my hand as I type this. It's glued up... so you can't
disassemble it to be 100% sure, but it uses 28 stud train bases. There are 2
2x6s stacked (or a 2x6 and 2 1x6s, it varies from car to car and end to end)
in dark grey at each end. Since the trucks carry the faux end tumblehome
(body side skirt end piece), they need to be able to pivot on that so studs
up would not work. The tumblehome is SNOT (upside down) so it's plate bottom
rubbing against plate bottom.
Very clever design (did you expect anything less from James Mathis???!!!!)
as the buffer plate itself is normal, and extends out two studs on a shank
from the truck itself. The tumblehome wraps around the shank and is held in
place by a 1x4 plate with vertical bar down that plugs into the wheelset
bottom, with the bar end nestling between two studs of the upside down
tumblehome
It's harder to describe than it is to see in person.
I am not sure LDrawing it to make it clear at this point would be allowed or
not.. its not that far off that we all will be able to buy it... I know I'll
be getting lots of them!
