Here is the Marx El Capitan Passenger Set 9640A With No.21 Santa Fe double AA Locomotives. The Marx number 21 is a pressed steel FT type F3 diesel locomotive. A beautiful red, yellow and silver Santa Fe bonnet style engine. The silver passenger cars in this set are two of the 3152 ATSF Coaches, the 3152 ATSF short Vista Dome, and the 3197 ATSF El Capitan Observation Car. The coaches and the observation car are non illuminated with solid windows and the vista dome is illuminated with silhouette windows. The non-illuminated solid window cars came with the set and the vista dome was purchased later. Cars not shown that also came in the mixed freight and passenger 9640A set were the 44572 Gondola, the1950 Green GAEX Boxcar, and the 1951 Red Caboose. Look for them in the video. There is a very well written article about the El Capitan set(s) in the Classic Toy Trains (CTT) May/June 2022 Issue if you wish to learn more about the original train and other Marx cars and locomotives used in some other El Capitan consists. The article states that Marx used the number 21 on it's first El Capitan locomotive because that was the number of the original El Capitan west bound train.
