I took my O scale Pacific SP2479 down to the fairgrounds in San Jose, CA where the prototype locomotive has been undergoing restoration for the past 35years. Interesting to see the size difference between the prototype and the model. The model looks and sounds great when running. I searched for years to find this exact engine.

I know my vision isn't what it used to be but it took me a long while to spot the model.

Photos of this kind are a fine art form. My personal favorite is of an O Scale 844 in Excursion livery on the running gear of the real thing:

That's pretty cool, I'd like to catch up with 4014 and put my VL model next to it.
