In addition, the Santa Fe Historical and Modeling Society has published a book covering the furniture and automobile boxcars of the Santa Fe. The price may well be worth it considering the overall cost of a nice 1-1/2" or 1.6 freight car. Or maybe borrow one from a bud that has one. I do not.
Volume Three
Furniture and Automobile Box Cars by Richard H. Hendrickson
Non Members price $38.95.
Volume Three in our Rolling Stock Reference Series covers Furniture and Automobile Box Cars. Author Richard Hendrickson, well-known to most Santa Fe fans as "Mr. Freight Car," is a frequent contributor to the Warbonnet, and its predecessors as well as co-author of Volume Two in this series - Refrigerator Cars-Ice Bunker Cars 1884-1953. Don't miss this one!

Hi Chris,
They are under the link at the bottom of the first page to the Company Store.

Doing the express passenger version or standard freight car?

A few subtle differences.

Sad thing?

While digging through the book shelf looking for the Santa Fe Business and Special Purpose Cars book, I had to move this book out of the way.

Can one have too many books?

Can one have too many books?

only when it comes time to move them

The book is on order. I am looking forward to looking it over.
Thanks again
Chris
