An O-Scale 4-8-4 passenger train at Detroit Model Railroad Club

Detroit Model Railroad Club is one of the oldest O-scale clubs in US, celebrating its 75th anniversary. I was impressed with the club's continuous challenges rather than the long history of the club -- one of such challenges is that the layout is fully DCC operated despite its large size. This short video clip records a passenger train leaving the city of Dorrance, which is the first section you see at the entrance of the club. The locomotive of the train is, if my memory is correct, Grand Trunk Western's U-4b, one of the most famous streamlined 4-8-4's. If you have a chance to visit Detroit area, you should consider visiting the club. It's worth! See http://www.dmrrc.org/ for the details.

@grizzleybearz282004 It's one of the few 4-8-4's that Grand Trunk Western streamlined for high-speed passenger service.
