Their excellent performance convinced the Santa Fe to adopt them as the company standard on revenue freight cars. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waycars were originally painted mineral brown with white lettering.  Many of the class had their handrails painted black to contrast with the brown color of the car, or maybe to simply protect the metal from rusting.  After 1953, the company forces began to paint handrails, end grabs, and step edges white to aid in safety-visibility.  Prior to 1938 the standard lettering practice was to spell out the car lettering as “A.T.\u0026amp;S.F.”  Sometime between 1938 and 1943, some cars were repainted with A.T.S.F., removing the “\u0026amp;”.   The periods were removed from the ATSF at some point after 1943.  An “R” was added to the cars when they were equipped with radio equipment. Several variations existed for the placement of the “R”.  Often the “R” followed the car number without the addition of a space. However, spaces and an occasional dash can be documented separating the number from the “R”.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 class cars were delivered equipped with the orange wig-wag signaling plates installed on the cars.  As radio communication began to gain prominence on the Santa Fe, many of the cars were then electrified in the mid-1950s.  Electricity was harnessed only to provide energy to power the car’s radio set.  However, after the below-floor, axle-driven generator with battery storage was perfected, many of the car’s devices became electrically powered.  The batteries were housed in a box fabricated for their use which was located on the three window side of the car just fore of the cupola.  This box had a vented door that aided in the dispersal of explosive battery gases. The box was placed near the radio cabinet which was located in the base of the cupola.  In 1968 a number of the 500 class cars were rebuilt at Topeka and emerged as Ce-1 class waycars, while other 500 class cars were rebuilt into Ce-2 class cars in 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassonemodelworks.com will be offering 500-class way cars in both wig-wag equipped style and radio equipped style.  Both styles come with operating marker lamps which can be illuminated and shut off with the use of a magnetic wand.  The 500 class cars in this production run will be equipped with Kass grate walkways.  These highly detailed models will be right at home on your layout and will provide a style of ATSF caboose which has never been produced in plastic, and which exceeds the quality of previous brass models.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ClassOneModelWorks.com","offers":[{"title":"ATSF 553R","offer_id":44344218124483,"sku":"CB00100","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ATSF 555R","offer_id":44344218157251,"sku":"CB00101","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ATSF 561R","offer_id":44344218190019,"sku":"CB00102","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ATSF 557R","offer_id":44344218222787,"sku":"CB00103","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0519\/6546\/0675\/files\/553R.png?v=1755803793"},{"product_id":"santa-fe-peaked-roof-caboose-500s-wig-wag","title":"Santa Fe Peaked Roof Caboose 500s - Wig-Wag","description":"\u003ch4 style=\"color: #d32f2f;
