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.
