Milwaukee Road Streamlined Hudson steam locomotive pulling the Hiawatha

The Milwaukee Road Hiawatha pulled by a gorgeous streamlined Hudson locomotive (1939 version) running on my railroad. Also check out the beaver-tail observation car.

Thanks for the nice note. I checked out the 3 videos that you have on your Youtube channel. Your NYC E 2-4-2 Commodore is a very sweet train and looks to be in beautiful condition. I also like your NYC postwar F-3 AA with freight cars. And your postwar PRR S-2 Turbine. I have one of those around somewhere in packing boxes; yours appears to be in better condition than mine.

Nice trains. You going to do a permanent layout?

[scottielarock]

loving this..do you have a diagram of your layout? Also do you run legacy or tmcc?

[woodynj]

thanks...try checking out another of my videos, Woody's Train House v. 1.1 on this site for the track layout. I have both TMCC and Legacy.

Thanks for the video and a fond memory. As a child, I rode the Milw. Rd "Chippewa" (Union Sta Chi. to Iron Mtn Mich) in the Beavertail car which had wonderful single upholstered swivel chairs. What a fabulous way to travel. Thank you again for your presentation.

Very nice. I like the whistle. Are the whistle sounds accurate? Did the Hiawatha Hudsons sound like that?  I always wonder what different locomotives sounded like.

[woodynj]

Thanks. The train room is about 70 ft long and as much as 50 ft deep, tho mostly 25 ft. deep.
