Amtrak F40 315 stretches its legs on the Hudson, PA Model RR Club Layout

My Amtrak F40 315 finally got its first chance to stretch its legs when I brought it to the Hudson Model RR Club and ran it in an Amfleet push-pull consist. I was very pleased with the results. I paced the train and filmed as if a helicopter were chasing the train.

A big thank you goes out to the Hudson Model RR Club for graciously inviting me to participate in their operating session with the 315. If you're in the Scranton, PA area visiting Steamtown, I'd recommend checking out their massive layout.

Other videos from this session have been posted. For more info on this model and the custom sounds installed in the Digitrax SoundFX decoder, check out the videos showing the sound tests.

That is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the flashing ditch lights, strobe lights, horn, and the working markers on the cab car.  VERY nice. I'd love to have a similar package for my Jouef Amtrak Turboliner, only the flashing lights would be above the windshield instead of ditch lights.
