The 1935 Milwaukee Road Hiawatha Project |
This classic train will be faithfully recreated in HO and N Scales to celebrate the Trains's 75th Anniversary.
When introduced, the train was lead by the sleek and powerful Class A 4-4-2. Following was America's first Tap - Cafe car, three Coaches, a Parlor car and Milwaukee's unique Beaver Tail Observation.
All will be available in State of the Art Injection molding with numerous add on details. The locomotive will include a smooth and powerful DCC ready drive. Cars will feature metal wheelsets, wire grab irons, knuckle couplers and interiors.
The first set will include Locomotive #1 in it's original paint scheme, the Tap-Cafe car, Coaches #4419, 4428, 4439, Parlor Car Minnewawa and Observation Wenonah. Two additional coaches will also be available. This will be the only time to get Locomotive #1 in it's original paint scheme.

For further info on the Hiawatha the Fox Valley Poster is available here
Drawn by the
first newly built scientifically streamlined steam locomotives, designed for
speed faster than steam locomotives ever attained heretofore, two Milwaukee
Road speed-lined trains were placed in daily service between Chicago and St.
Paul-Minneapolis on May 29, 1935. The 410 miles between Chicago and St. Paul
are covered in 390 minutes.
Traversing territory
rich in Indian lore, the train is named the Hiawatha for the great Mohawk
Chief whose legendary endowments, as immortalized by Longfellow, includes
swiftness of
foot:
"He
could shoot an arrow from
him,
And
run forward with such
fleetness
That
the arrow fell behind him!"
|
The oil-burning steam
locomotives were especially designed for this particular service. They have
a
steam pressure of 300 lbs.: driving wheels are 7 feet in
diameter.
Load weight of the engine is 280,000
lbs. Loaded weight of tender is 247,500 lbs. Length of engine and tender 85
ft. Boiler pressure 300 lbs. Water capacity of tender 13,000 gals. Fuel oil
capacity of tender 4,000 gals. Maximum tractive power 30,700 lbs. The whistle
is above the headlight. The bell is directly inside the grating at the
extreme front end. The "smoke stack" is just back of the headlight. A
smoke elevator lifts the smoke up so that it is carried off above the cars.
The housing on the extreme front of the engine may be opened exposing a
standard coupler, in the event it is desirable to couple an engine or
car to forward end.
All the coaches, the parlor
cars and the cafe cars are speed-lined, full size, of welded
steel construction, about one third lighter in weight than the cars generally
in use. The cafe cars have special buffet features and the luxuriosly
appointed coaches have conveniences new to coach patrons. To reduce air
resistance the contour of all cars conforms to the locomotive, presenting a smooth unbroken line from head end to the rear of the "beaver tail"
cars at the end. All of the cars are air
conditioned.
Introduction of the first
speed-lined steam train continued the Milwaukee Road's outstanding record of
contributions to modern railroading. It was the first line between Chicago and
the Twin Cities and is
still the only double tracked route; was the
first to use steam heat and electric lights on Chicago-Twin
Cities
trains and the first to operate all-steel trains between Chicago and the Twin
Cities. It was the first
line to adopt roller bearings for through
passenger trains, and has pioneered in the operation of trains
across
mountain ranges by electric power, and it is the only railroad operating over
its own rails all the
way from Chicago to the North Pacific
Coast.
Routed via Milwaukee and LaCrosse the new
speed trains operate via the line over which the United States government has
routed its mail trains between Chicago and the Twin Cities for more than
a half century.

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore.You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
