Sharp clear railroad reporting marks on an Athearn H.O Scale GTW gondola car.

 

I took this photograph a couple of weeks ago, at the Oak Park

Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club

in Oak Park Illinois.  OPSME on Facebook.

 

Model Railroading has come a long way in recent years, with

the amazing technololgies and spectacular amounts of detail

available on many of the miniature model trains offered today.

 

Believe it or not, those railroad reporting marks, are actually

on a 1/87 H.O Scale model railroad freight car offered by a

company known as Athearn.

 

This looks a lot like the Grand Trunk Western Railroad freight

cars I use to see at the GTW Elsdon Yard on West 51st Street

in Chicago during the 1970's and early 80's.

 

Thanks.
