Got the non-powered part right, and the Santa Fe. NOT a 2333 except for the part number cast into the frame.
Louvers, not screens, solid portholes, no photo of number boards. Riveted rear clip, not screws.
2353 had portholes and silver sideframes. 2383 had no portholes and black sideframes.
2243 solid, black sideframes.
Has truck ladders, rear ones reversed left to right.
Has the cast-in cab door ladders indicative of 2383 and 2243.
Guess is somebody wanted this to match a 2333 or 2343, took it apart, painted the sideframes and got the rear ladders on wrong. Or replaced the shell with later version.
Price isn't bad, but not described right and mis-identified.
Lord Knows I have repainted enough F-5 sideframes to silver.
