In 1953 the Santa Fe F3 was promoted to model number 2353. A few details were changed and the operating horn was moved to the B unit.
As a bookend to the postwar era, the 2383 Santa Fe model was in production the longest from 1958 through 1966. Many of the details from prior models were simplified or removed in this iteration. The truck side frames are black on 2383's and some units (type II) have war bonnet that appears to have a slight orange tint rather than the bright red normally seen.
Santa Fe engines can also be found in the ALCO variety. Most of these were produced between 1964 and 1966. The ALCO Santa Fe locomotives have 3 digit model numbers. Some of the models are: 212 , 215, 218, 220 and 223.
