i started to model the IC passenger trains but the availiable cars thats out are not correct and not the right color. Decided to model the Milwaukee Road/ UP City of Los Angeles
Nice work. And a tip of the engineer's cap for modeling a secondary passenger train- everyone likes the flagship trains and anyone with the dough can get a fine painted brass set of the headliner varnish(the Panama on the IC for example) but to model a maid of all work like the Hawkeye shows initiative and research. Again, kudos for a fine job.
@BenAliGtor Um, the Hawkeye wasn't a "Secondary" train to us here where it served! Just because it wasn't the CONO or PL, don't mean it was secondary!
good video! great to see the new walthers ic flexi van flats in service, i know the hawkeye occasionally ran with a e8 but 90% of the time it ran with two steam generator equipped gp9's & the majority of the consist was heavy wieght coaches , not to sure if the hawkeye carried a sleeper during the mid to late 60's & early 70's. but hey it looks really good!, gonna get me a few of those flexi van flats to model the ic's seminole. wish walthers would come out with a ic heavy weight bagge car!
Had an Air Force buddy tell me he used to see the Hawkeye go through Freeport IL back in the late 1960s.
