Bachman Spectrum Series H.O Santa Fe EMD FT A and B locomotives.


I photographed this digital live sound video last year, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

Growing up in the city of Chicago Illinois during the 1960's, 70's and 80's eras, I was a huge fan of the former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad.

These two Bachman Spectrum Series models of early 1940's era Santa Fe EMD model FT Cab Unit diesel electric locomotives wearing the red and silver "Warbonnet" color scheme used for passenger train service, are viewed pulling a freight train on the club layout.

The real Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe, was also known for occasionally assigning passenger train locomotives on the head end of freight trains when needed.
