Hiawatha Video

Many years ago, I scratch-built a Marx-powered Hiawatha using an American Flyer Hiawatha body and Marx 6-inch passenger cars. The Hiawatha was sent nearly around the world to other Marx enthusiast who ran the train on their layouts and then signed the tender. This is a video made by Dave Hess running on his layout in Washington state.

She's a real beauty. What curve radius will she handle?

@chiconian49 Hey Chuck! Thanks for the comments. That Hiawatha is pretty short and is an O-27 scale train. It handles 27" radius curves. Ken

Is that the original paint scheme? It's a beauty!

Great idea Ken, to share and pass the train around. Its something we could consider doing again, as some form of recognition or award or just for any reason.

Would be neat to see the train running in different locations.
