My Scale Santa Fe Steam Power | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Lee WillisOGR Forum Member

With the arrival of my two additional, and lovely, MTH ATSF Premier Hudsons, it seemed like a good time to take all my scale ATSF steam down off the shelves, dust it off, and run it a bit.

Top row, from left: Legacy Berkshire 4199, MTH Hudson #3465, MTH Hudson #3461

Middle row: MTH Hudson 3462, MTH Texas 5012

Lowest row: Legacy 3751, MTH 2921 body (early PS1) mounted on Legacy 3759 chassis.

Here they are, idling, in a brief video . . .

Here they are in motion. I am surprised how well they place together: they are running in conventional, nearly nose to tail, at exactly 11 on the ZW-L throttles but cruise at close enough to the same speed so no loco touched the others for close to a minute and a half. I have to operate conventionally so I put the video camera down for the first few seconds of the video. Smoke is off on them: my wife doesn't mind smoke now since I run JT

That's a lot of steam. They look great on the layout.

Budget permitting, you can never have too much Santa Fe motive power. Nice display.

Matt, you are sure correct about this.
