Yes, I have branched off a little bit from my usual UP modeling and have been dabbling with some BNSF. #609 is a KATO unit that I bought new years ago, then after not running it much at all, I did a bit of a trade with our club president, Sam, who's favorite line is the Santa Fe.
Sadly, Sam fell ill with a brain tumor a couple years ago and after a long fight, is finally succumbing to it. His last day at the club was Saturday the 1st. I've known him since I was a teenager and he's been one of the best members, and one of the best club Presidents we've ever had. As many years as I've known him, he's been one of those extremely strong willed, don't take S from anyone kind of people. One you'd never imagine something like this happening too.
Back when we did the trade three or four years ago, he said I could have it back if anything ever happens. Unfortunately it has, and FAR sooner than I or anyone ever imagined. So, I've re-acquired it and will keep this unit pretty much as is, I may stick a very small yellow "BNSF" patch under the road numbers, not sure yet, maybe some very minor weathering (I at least want to dust up the radiator intakes and screens) and of course add sound. I'm thinking Loksound's new GE sound decoder would be amazing for this, it's sound is fantastic. So, when money permits...
This video and the 609 are dedicated to Sam... he will most definitely be missed.
Anyway, I honestly don't know what I'm posting next, between last weekend and this weekend, I've filmed so many trains and awesome power, I don't even know where to begin. So, I'm not even going to try and predict what's coming up. It's gonna be a surprise... even for me. :D
