Digital Live Sound Video: An MTH O' Scale Santa Fe 2900 class 4-8-4 steam locomotive slowly backing up on the test track at Chicagoland Hobby.

I photographed this digital live sound video one day after work, at Chicagoland Hobby. Chicagoland Hobby is one of Chicago's "Premier" hobby stores located at 6017 Northwest Highway in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood.

A local customer had just recently purchased a very large O' Scale model of an MTH Atchinson, Topeka & santa Fe Railroad 2900 class dual service 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive, and was in the process of performing a test run or two on the stores test track.

This Gentlemen was very kind, and allowed Me to make this video of this powerful and unique model of an American, World War 2 era 1940's prototype mainline steam locomotive.

The best news of all, is that the prototype of this locmotive A,T & S,F # 2903, is preserved today at The Illinois Railway Museum in the town of Union Illinois.
Just like the model, it is a "Huge" locomotive from the late steam era.
