[Accrs-ho] RIP Orchard Supply

[ACCRS HO Scale]

HO Group,

A number of years ago, OSH used to have a Home and Garden show at the 
Fair.   They rented a building or two and we would have an open house 
while their show was on.   Worked out well.

Also, for a few years, maybe prior or around the time of  their home 
show, they sold HO gauge box cars and cabooses lettered for OSH, in 
their stores.  These sort of became collector items.

Anyway, because of the shows, I attempted to get some of the cars, so we 
could run an OSH train during their show.  Just the about the time their 
shows ended, I was able to get a number of cars, but I never got to run 
them for their show.  I even did a modern box car with the OSH emblem 
and a couple of trailers on 89' flats.

With their closing, I want to run the OSH cars and caboose and make a 
video of the train.  It would look best with a small steamer or an early 
GP "with sound"   I don't have such an animal, and was wondering if any 
of you would have one we could use to do a run-by at the control panel. 
   Train would be about 12-15 box cars (40'), I think,  and a caboose.  
Got to dig the box of cars out from the pile.

Let me know if you can provide the power.  SP or WP would be best as 
that was local here (San Jose).

We have a general meeting on September 7.  We could do it then.
