A 1940's era streamlined steam powered New York Central Railroad passenger train.

 
 
I took this photograph recently last month, at the Oak Park Society
of  Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club in suburban
Oak Park Illinois. This club also has a Facebook page entitled OPSME.
 
My good friend and fellow club member Martin Faland, was operating
his MTH New York Central Railroad streamlined Alco J # Class 4-6-4
Hudson type passenger service steam locomotive and cars from the -
NYC's famous 20th Century Limited deluxe passenger train.
 
Although myself and some of the other club members were actually
born too late to see and experience the steam era New York Central
firsthand in Chicago and other cities where it operated, their steam
locomotives are still a real attention getter even in miniature.
 
Thanks Martin.
