On Saturday, February 7, 2026, my HO Model of Southern Pacific (SP) 1427 was leading a local westbound on the California Central Model Railroad Club (CCMRC) in the historic Agnew depot in Santa Clara, CA. This train was approaching "Shasta" on the CCMRC. SP 1427 is a Walthers model.
The real SP 1427 was an EMD SD7, SP Class ES615-4. Reportedly: it was built in 1953 as SP 5320, SP class DF-118 builder number 18385. In 1965 it became SP 2727, SP Class ES615-4, later it became SP 1427. In 1980 it was rebuilt to SP Class ES615R-1 1522. It was sold in 1995, subsequently scrapped.

Posting some of my model work, seeing as I'm closing out my Meta accounts for good.

This is from a work in progress. I hope to have more energy this year to get back to some projects.

This was built using a Walther's model kit as a base.

Got a request for some more model posts, so here we go. This is a kit, but I made it look like Victoria's beloved Wellburn's market which sadly is no more. It's still not finished as it's part of a much larger project I've been working on for the last two years. Still needs it's sign and some snow and door sensors. #miniatures #modelmaking #WellburnsMarket #walthers #JimsRedOwl #ledFibreOptics
