Digital Live Sound Video: The maiden run of Eddie K's "New" Athearn H.O Scale train at The Oak Park Society of Model Engineers club layout.

I photographed this digital live sound video after work on Wednsday night, April 28th 2010.

After I was finished with attending one of My company's mandatory safety meetings, I was able to dash across town from Glenview to west suburban Oak Park Illinois. I just made it in time to attend the last hour of Wednsday nights operation.

I just recently purchased this Athearn H.O Scale EMD GP 35 roadswitcher in 1960's era Santa Fe markings, a Grand Trunk Western 40 foot boxcar, and a plain pre 1968 A,T & S,F cupola caboose. Here they are finally getting a chance to make their very first run, on the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers club layout. I will be adding some more cars very soon.

This train, is a generic representation of the mid 1960's era Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad's local freight trains that served lineside industries along the mainline. Branchline switching locals were still the domain of first generation EMD, Baldwin, Fairbanks Morse and Alco locomotives.
